Oh! The glories of job hunting

Let me just be blunt:

I hate job hunting.

There's nothing enjoyable about it. You sit at the computer all day, or in stores, or whatever, filling out applications and assessment tests. Tests!! Just for a job at a clothing store, ore bookstore, or movie store in which the people currently working there have obviously failed.

When/if you finally get an interview, they ask you more questions and make you feel as if you really have a chance, yet in the back of their mind the know you aren't going to be called back, but they say they will call you anyway--and don't. Hey, sometimes you do get a second interview and everything seems great. And then you're told that the job is between you and another person. What are you supposed to do with that? Get your hopes up after a long traveling time from home, spending money, whether it be gas or bus money, go through an interview that lasts less time then it takes to go through a McDonalds drive thru, and then come back another day, repeat it all to still get rejected?

Hmm.

When you do get a job, you find that it's not all it's cracked up to be and they pay you less than what was agreed upon or the benefits package is horrible or whatever quirks they leave out when offering you the job.

Oh joy! I can't wait!

This adult world thing stinks.
