This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I didn't get a single respone to hundreds of applications i sent online. A local business asked if I wanted a job after some comments I made. The ladies in the office threw away my resume and cover letter cause it was too much for the boss to take in. I got the job after an in person interview with the boss.

I realize i got pretty lucky but small towns and local family businesses absolutely still operate on the "smile and a handshake" technique. I even got my apartment in the area without a job through a similar in person interview and handshake with the landlord.
