Job Searching Chronicles, Part One

A variety of reasons, including:

1.  The fact that my company has filed bankruptcy for the second time in five years
2.  The fact that the Teamsters have authorized a strike
3.  The fact that I am tired of falling asleep before 7:00 PM
and
4.  The fact that I really, really (really) miss weekends more than I thought I would

have me back in the job market.  Job searching is exhausting, most often discouraging, sometimes exciting and usually monotonous.  Today, I came across a posting that was too good not to apply for.  The posting read like this:

Swedish Speaking Baker
We need a swedish speaking baker who would be able to read swedish recipes for part time baking. Please respond through email. Thank you. 


Here is the email I sent them:

Amazingly, I haven't been offered the position yet.  I'll let you know when I get it, however.
