vacation with pay, then retire with full pension. . for

Use it accordingly ;)

I;m retired, but I still don't want to mess with those things.
I have had two people (known from personal contexts) who were fishing for jobs at SH tell me about the idiot ego hijinks they pulled on customers whilst they were doing Tech Support (or other work) for other companies. Strangely, I never invited them to give me their resumes...
Jan, failed to be impressed
She could get a job in California as a special education administrator making $120K/year. She'd fit right in... Especially with the "I hate kids" thing. Perfect.

regardless of finishing order, and the like. . the huge
distortions of language which mean that Pam Geller

Edit; cheesy grin added
I've disliked students yet still teach them well. I've disliked coworkers yet still coached them well. And I've hated several jobs I was really good at. I've written good apple and scripts in languages I detest.
This, among other things, has taught me to not make such unfounded negative assumptions about someone's qualifications.
Her comment: “I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at day care.” This is not a case where she disliked a particular kid, a specific person, or a specific aspect of a job. She hates working at day care. Period. If you, as a teacher, hated working in a school (college, etc.), would you still think of yourself as a good teacher? Obviously, the interviewer did not pick that up, either because the person was a poor interviewer or because she was a good liar. Wouldn't you, as either an employer or a parent of the kids there, prefer to correct that error?
Now, you may consider taking care and educating small kids as a non-critical function, but many people, I am certain, will disagree with you. Especially those whose kids are at the day care center and those whose livelihoods depend on trouble-free, litigation-free and police-free functioning of that establishment. However, let's take an undeniably critical function, like surgery, for example. So, you're scheduled for a critical surgery, with certain associated risks. You don't know the doctor, since the doctor is new at the hospital. So you go home, do some internet searches, and find out that the doctor's FB page has this statement: "I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate being a doctor." No doubt, in order to not appear biased by anything (facts included) and to not allow your colleagues to judge you, you, of course, will show up for that operation on Monday morning and let the surgeon prove that biases are unfounded, right? Oh, yes, do let us know how that works out for you, would you?

Second question: why didn't this come up in the INTERVIEW?
If one thinks about it, really this is the result from an entitlement mentality. She openly admits she needs a job (a good step forward) but then she takes a step back by complaining about the job she gets. If I knew this young woman, I would advise her to do the best at this job while she looks for another. But this stunt isn't going to score any brownie points with future employers. :S
