Job searching -- ugh!

I've sent off an online application to the Forest Service. The position is full-time but temporary, and I have no idea if they will think I'm qualified for it or not, but I'll find out soon enough, I suppose. There is a job that will be opened up to the public (if it isn't filled in-house) for a library tech 1 in Concord. At least technically, I'm qualified for this job so I'm really hoping it opens up. It would be a great starting place and I could work there for a few years as I try to get schooling together.
Turns out I do not have what it takes to be a banker. At least not according to the online application process at Citizen's Bank. They have you fill out a personality assessment and a 'what would you do in this situation' assessment. I guess they didn't like the way I answered some of my questions. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow and see if they like me better. I don't know if it was the personality questions or the job related questions they didn't like the answers to, though. It seems kind of silly to disqualify me simply because I don't know what their policies are on things, when I haven't ever worked for them and don't know what their policies are. Geesh!
I think I'm going to be a gardener this week. One of my sister's friends has a flower bed that needs work but she has a bad back and cannot do it herself. I told her I don't know much about gardening but she said I don't need to know much, lol. I need to call her this evening to see if she is still interested in having me come over.
I hate being unemployed. I hope I find something soon.
