This is harder than I thought

It has now been three weeks since the Mulder Moose decided to give up his life as a lumber jack and seek a new career (see blog posting of January 27th). Well as many Americans know, making a career change is difficult in this era of high unemployment. He has put in many applications, but has had only two interviews.

The first interview was at a hardware store. The interview was going well until they asked him to use the cash register. Guess what? Moose has no fingers and was unable to use the keyboard of the cash register. The next interview required a test measuring critical thinking. Well with stuffing instead of a brain, he quickly failed this test too.

I realized that I was asking Mulder Moose to get a job and he had absolutely no skills. So this week, we started some career skills training for Moose. On Monday, Phil made a Valentine's Day dinner for Hannah. So to help with the dinner, we had Moose serve as the waiter. He looked great, but will need some additional training. Phil thought he was a little stiff and Hannah was annoyed at the way Moose stared at her during the entire meal.

This job thing is going to be harder than I thought...
