2001
Today on "ayeconfess.com"... I had to file the employee resumes and shit from last year into this year's files. This is another thing at my job that I've been putting off (they had never even made new files each year for financial stuff before me, so I figured it wasn't a TOP priority). So, I'm looking through the files of all the staff here. This is my first romp through personnel files. Believe me kids, your resumes look muchos bessimo than many of our employees. Several resumes were hand written. Several had typos. Most just looked bland. One or two were people who had done volunteer work and extra curricular stuff out the bazooka. They would get jobs anywhere they applied just on such a great resume. One employee (she's one of my top four favorites) had a horrible resume (full of the dumb jobs like retail associate positions blah blah blah) and had a sealed college transcript in her file and an unsealed one (I found out this once I unsealed the sealed one to have a looksie). I was looking at her transcript and was amazed that she sent it in. We don't require it. She had four or five F's and one or two A's. The rest was B's and C's. Looking at her transcript, I realized something about myself fully. I'm a grades snob. You should have heard my brain. I was thinking things like "B minus in Basic Psychology? B minus in Intro to French? D minus in Intro to Physics? These are all easy A's". I realized that "good in school" is all I got to be snobby about. I haven't been to ambition-land or France or computerwhiz or yoga guru or writer or filmmaker, BUT I did make A's and math B's with the total of four vividly memorable, shocking C's in my entire scholastic history (and the C in elementary school was due to Bertha Barnes being sadistic and teaching me a lesson about ASKING what work I missed whilst absent.) I repeat: it's all I've got.
