I was reading your blog. You really need to take some of those posts down. No one is going to hire you with that attitude.

Thanks for the advice. You are absolutely right. I’m going to try something more positive instead. Like this.

You can’t keep putting this type of stuff up there. Employers are looking for any reason they can to eliminate you. Don’t give them a reason.

I think I gave them a reason to hire me – I’m smiling. That’s much better than I use to do. Usually I frown when giving the finger. No one likes a frowny face. I think I’m showing some real progress here, Peter. It’s all about the baby steps.

This is exactly the attitude I’m talking about. You’re a real talented writer. I would hate to see you lose out on opportunities because of what you’re posting.

I love your sense of humor. I really do. But not everyone else does. Don’t go posting pictures of yourself giving the middle finger. I don’t care what you’re doing in them. Don’t do it! EVER!

Pete,
I’ve been spending the last seven minutes thinking about what you said, and you’re right. Not everyone is going to “get” me. I understand you’re just trying to help. I don’t want to stop blogging altogether. It’s something I really enjoy, and as you said, it highlights my writing talents. It also keeps me from swallowing my tongue after I come to the metaphysical realization that laundry never ends.
Actually, it’s not even metaphysical. It never really ends. Unless you’re dead. Or become a nudist. You know, seeing that I never leave the house or the car, I’m thinking pants aren’t really necessary. No one is ever going to see me below the waist.
But I digress. I need to find a way to highlight my skills in a more “can do” manner. What do you think of this?

Obviously you don’t care about putting food on the table for your kids. I would think that after 2 years of searching you would get the hint. No one is going to hire you if you keep this up.

Look, I added the Terminator Robot. Those movies were really popular. I bet he could really help me in my job search.
