One Snarky Chica with Issues

As I gear up to watch the Iowa caucuses on CNN tonight starting at 9pm, it got me to thinking. I sure am glad that I don’t have to campaign for my job. I read an article on CNN.com that noted how candidate John Edwards had went on a 36-hour last minute round-the-clock campaign for Iowa’s voters.

That kind of makes preparing for a job interview look easy, doesn’t it?

Then there is also the fact that all of these candidates spend a small fortune on their campaigns. And we, on the other hand, invest maybe in a new outfit for the big interview.

Of course, it also gives me pause as I wonder if we really have it better or not. Sure, we are also going up against other people like the presidential candidates. However, we do not have the advantage of knowing who those other people are and what they are bringing to the game. We also do not have the advantage of getting people to shout out their praise for us like how the Des Moines Register announced they were backing Hillary Clinton or how the papers in the Boston area announced that they were backing McCain. And then you have Huckabee taking Chuck Norris around with him.

Do you think it would help if I showed up at job interviews with Chuck Norris at my side? I mean, he’s pretty intimidating. People might be scared that he’d go all kung fu on them and as a result they’d want to hire me right away. Wait a minute – I wonder if that is Huckabee’s game?

I’d like to bring the A-Team to job interviews with me. Just imagine it. Murdock just sitting there smoking a cigar with a wiseass look on his face and Mr. T standing up in the back with all of his bling and his arms crossed. At some point in the interview he could go “I pity the fool that doesn’t hire this chica!” and then I would immediately get hired cause no one wants to mess with Mr. T.

Ah, I miss the 80’s.
