The Job Search Continues

So I totally love that all the ads for receptionists and front desk people honestly consider it reasonable to ask for 2-3 years receptionist or front desk experience. Because if I had been a receptionist for the past three years, I would totally be thinking to myself... What on earth am I going to do with myself now? Oh, I know, I should be a receptionist again!

And, really, what exactly is there to learn about being a receptionist in the second and third year that you didn't learn in the first? How complicated do they really think it could possibly be?

Anyway, I'm thinking about waiting tables. I always pictured myself just dropping stuff everywhere if I were a waitress, but when I think about the huge armfulls of stuff I carry around work and up and down ladders while still helping customers in between, I think I could handle it. And that definitely wouldn't interfere with class schedules, and if I worked someplace busy I could probably make similar money to what I make now by just working on Friday and Saturday nights and then just one or two other times during the week. No benefits, though, that would suck. But it's just a thought.
