I need a better job

So I'm reworking my resume to apply for a job with my head office. In the Marketing department. After all these years I've dusted off my industry resume, and made a few changes. Now it's ready to represent me in application for this job. It seems like a pretty entry level position which is good because no matter how much I gussy up my resume it's still an advertising resume, and this is a marketing job. I guess I'm about to find out how much of a difference there is in these two disciplines. There is another lady from guest service applying for the position as well. She was rather evasive when I asked her what qualifications she had. I'm taking this to mean she's either super super qualified, or perhaps just trying to apply with her crappy guest service experience. I mean that's good experience, but lady you have no idea how fancy my resume is. I figure between a 2 year diploma in advertising, 14 years experience in the service sector, and my really pimp experience as a Casino Host where I can drop marketing and promotion into pretty much anything I did, well I should be able to impress whomever is doling out interviews.

I just noticed a neat feature offered from Blogger. If I click on a bookmarked link instead of another tab Blogger will remind me I'm about to screw myself outta hard typed posting instead of just redirecting me, and making me weep cause it's the 5th time I've done that since I started this post.

Anyway back to my possible promotion. Seems I'll be given a chance to request my desired salary, so I should be able to ask for as much money as I'm making now, or perhaps a bit more. I don't know if they can even pay me that much because I make way too much money for the absolutely no work that I have to do. I'm getting ahead of myself though. I should probably worry about being offered the position before I worry about whether I can accept it or not.

I hope I get this job because I call it my 9-5, Mon-Fri, Evenings, and Weekends off with salary plan. I like this plan because it has everything my current job doesn't have. While I may be allergic to hard work I think I might enjoy working in an environment that fosters, and rewards said hard work. I work hard in my current job, but nobody gives a shit beyond telling me "you did a good job tonight" which is great. I love compliments, but if I want to make myself feel better at the end of my shift I'll go jerk off in the bathroom. Give me a promotion, or an indication that I am working towards a promotion. Compliments are worthless when there is no potential for career progress with them. Now if my supervisor wanted to blow me while giving me a complement that would okay I guess. Otherwise just shut up, let me collect my wages, and go home. We all work for an hourly rate, and I've found that hourly rates encourage lazy useless workers who are trying to collect as much of that hourly rate for as little work as possible. Salary is good because you are just paid for your yearly attendance. If you can't keep up in the workload the company will likely jettison you in favour of somebody that can keep up. If you work extra hard, and somebody tells you "you did a good job" there is a chance that enough of those compliments can be cashed in for a promotion, or pay raise.

All I want is compliments with value. Either a promotion or a blowjob. I just don't want to be giving blowjobs for promotions. That's all fucked up.
