The Job Search Continues - Part V

... calculator, which on would you be, and why?"
Without pausing for a breath, I answered. The answer came to me when
he finished the word "calculator" and I wanted him to know I had just
as quick of wit as he did.
"The plus button, 'cause you always want more."
He looked down, wrote and said at the same time "3 - + cuz..." then he
paused, looked up and said, "That's what she said..." I smiled, and he
finished writing, "...you always want more."
He then stapelled the paper to mhy resume, and told me he'd put it

politically correct fashion?) a female dog.
Needless to say, "I didn't end up applying there."

Once I got inside the mall, I checked the directory to see where I
needed to get to. The stores were in good places, and had me able to
walk a full curcuit of the mall, and end up at the door to get back
out.

First stop was American Eagle; a store I want to work at solely for
the employee discount.
What can I say? Good clothes. *shrug*

Next was Northern Reflections. I took...
