L is for Loser, R is for Reject, no matter what Sue Grafton says. ;-)

God -- do you want to know how retarded I am?

I GOT REJECTED BY ********TARGET******** TODAY!!!!!!

What kind of moron must one be to get rejected by Target?!?! Jesus Pete -- all I wanted was a lousy part-time job. I can't even land one of those! (I've been trying since June, which makes this even worse.)

I'm trying to decide whether it was on the basis of: A, the credit report (mine is so screwed that I'm filing for bankruptcy). B, the "personality quiz" (I tend to answer those honestly, even though it's clear what they want to hear). Or C, the fact that my last part-time job was COLLEGE PROFESSOR. (Perhaps they thought I was a skosh overqualified.)

Sigh. I suppose it's just as well -- if I come into any more income before my filing is complete, I have to redo my budget and possibly go into the repayment plan, whereas right now I'm doing the straight-discharge one. But geeeze ... even my 17-year-old nephew has a job at Pizza Hut! They'll hire skinny, zit-faced teenagers, but not me?

O, what wonders hath the evil department store gods rained down upon my self esteem? ;-)
