I should be applying for jobs, instead I’m reading NIN message boards.

So I often think about what a horrible counselor I’m shaping up to be due to my current job. I can put clients on mute, make faces when they say stupid things and never have to hear the results of my bad advice.

Thankfully there are always reminders that there are worse counselors out there. And they work with my company! Or at least used to. A coworker forwarded me a particularly interesting complaint about a counselor we used to work with. The client told us that the counselor has a bird roaming the office, no door and his office smells. We ask the counselor about these complaints and he admits he has a pigeon loose in the office (a pet, not just a random pigeon), he has a cube rather than an office so everything the client says can be heard in the waiting room and sometimes there is a “moldy smell” coming from his basement.

That’s the problem with working people you never meet. Someone can look good on paper and be completely inappropriate in real life.

I’m having troubles making myself look good on paper. Resume writing and cover letter writing are not my strong skills. Which is why I avoid by writing pointless blog entries.
