Don't go off your meds
In my hometown there was a school called The Great Commission school that was a boarding school for Christians that wanted a deeper walk with God. It cost 200 dollars a year I believe so every brand of derelict enrolled to deepen their walk. One of their biggest things was that God heals and that you don't need your meds. I was a Christian in one of the local churches at the time and met many of them in different states of sanity when they would pop by our bible studies or Sunday schools. Wow, what a trip. Many of them were cool guys, like, hippies and such. But Yeah; a few were cautionary tales about not going off your meds.

Many positions are available without even interviewing and it is a great way to try out several lines of work.Huh. I never considered this to be a good idea because my mom was a temp agent and she has absolutely never suggested to me that it would be a good idea to go through a temp agency. I think this is because it really matters a lot for my well-being that whatever job I do, I have the opinion that it is somehow meaningful and not fundamentally soul-killing.
Business has shifted to a paradigm of the disposable interchangeable workforce, and nothing makes that easier than the level of separation both legally and practically that is provided by a temp agency. When seeking a job, you can find meaningful ones even through a temp agency. The tricky part is that you have to speak to a person so they can find out what you want to do and what you might be good at. Ew, I didn't like it either.

Absolutely sure that a person exists that would benefit from this comment. I am a person who has not even eaten a chip since I last went on vacation with my family, which would be months ago, almost a year now. Therefore, I do not see how this information is relevant for me whatsoever, but thanks anyway.
Well, it will allow you to answer questions like, "How many biscuits do you have if you have three chips?" You now know that the answer is 9 so... you are welcome. But really it is just a wacky thing my friend Jeremy said one time when we were stoned. We were in the circle and he said, "Hey guys, did you know that one chip equals three biscuits?" So I live my life by that bit of wisdom and it has made me happy.
Any cover letter will help as long as it is sincere and targeted at the company you are sending it too. If, for no other reason, the staple and additional paper will increase the chance that it misses the trash can when it is thrown away.
