What’s worse than a visit to the dentist?

Actually, I’ve never had much trouble with my teeth. I have a few small filled cavities and got four wisdom teeth (two impacted) removed, but I’ve never had big problems or any fear of going to the dentist. I remember when I was little, I was deathly afraid of the doctor and his needles, but I got over that as well. So there’s a lot of things I think are worse than visits to the dentist.

This leads into the the latest horrible job fair experience I had today. I prepared a new résumé, begged at the door to be let into the “technical” section, and then found NO JOB OPENINGS FOR ME. I talked to some people from IDT just because I was bored, but it was nothing that was leading towards a job. I left to look at the “normal” jobs, but the pickings were slim there, too. There was a huge line at the Providence Health System table, for good reason. Two hospitals in Portland closed down just this month. Other that, the only table with a long line was Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Nobody had any swag, and the only other companies I remember were Burger King and Paychex. It was really grim.

So there you go. Did I mention that I’m hooked on VH1’s Bands Reunited.
