Hello, you stars of the rock n' roll

Not having a lot of time to blog, and today is no exception. I did a lot of stuff yesterday, including testing for a job that I do not want. But still, I took the test for a reason.

When I went to take my postal exam it was explained that this was for a data entry job and would entail 4, 6 or 8 hours of sitting and typing. At that point about 20 of the 80 or so people there got up and left. I almost did too, especially when I realized that even though I was going to pass this test, I was likely not going to pass the typing test.

Still, I pressed on. Why? Because I figured the more tests I take, the better I'll get at them. And I'm glad I did. I found two weak areas where I did not complete the whole sections in the alotted time. I got pretty far and I'm sure I passed them. But I did not finish.

Besides, I did learn how to take the test for regular postal jobs. A test I can take as a newly retired veteran. A test that is otherwise closed to the public because they had 20,000 applicants the last time it was offered. Will assuredly pursue that.

I've been jotting down funny things I've heard. I was gonna wait to find more, but will just have to use them now.
