today i had an appointment with the temp agency. since it was a few cities away, i had to take the bus. it was an hours ride. i had to wake up 3 hours before my appointment. i could have woken up an hour later but i didn't want to be rushing into the building at 9 a.m. (the bus would have dropped me off at 8:55). i arrived in the vicinity at 7:55 and decided to hang at a nearby park until it was closer to my appointment time. it was nice to have that time to contemplate my future at the park. the name of the park is ironic: soaring dreams park. i felt like i was in france again as i spent some time sitting at parks.
at 8:35 i headed for the temp agency. on the map, the streets and blocks looked a lot bigger so i thought it would take me at least 10 minutes to get there. it was closer to 5 minutes. i then sat on one of those cement blockades in front of the building for 10 more minutes before i went in. at 8:50 i went in. i sat down and the receptionist asked for my resume and two forms of i.d. after she sees that i brought my driver's license and my old student i.d she told me the second one needed to be a birth certificate, social security card, or passport. gee...she could have told all new applicants this when i called to make my appointment two weeks ago. then she looked at my resume and asked a few questions. then she told me that all the companies that hire ask for at least one year's experience in administration. she asked if i had any past office experience which i do not. at that she said the temp agency couldn't help me. merde (shit).
i will attempt a second agency. i might get the same response. this might all be a waste of time and i could possibly be offered a position at the club before something outside is offered to me.
