More waiting....

No contact yet about the casino job. Hoping maybe tomorrow....they could still be interviewing first round people.

Had an annoying experience with a placement agency today. There are a lot of things unemployed people would like to see change. Many would like benefits to be extended indefinitely. Others want to see a change in the criteria for who gets benefits. The change I would most like to see as a job seeker is for some kind of regulation to be forced on these crappy placement companies, especially the placing of bogus ads. This is the second time I've fallen for it, but this time I'm more irritated just because it was so obvious they were just collecting information so they could add another person to the recruiter's quota. Anyway, I wasted over an hour there today, and it turned out my wife had came home for lunch and we ended up not seeing each other at all because I was stuck watching asinine training videos and filling out stupid clerical aptitude tests. Doubt I will ever get a call about the job they placed the ad for, one that I really should be qualified for. Guess we'll see.
