Pasta-throw-together and online apps

I found three grammatical/spelling error mistakes in online applications for major corporations today. This doesn't make me any closer to getting a job. In fact, I couldn't even pass the preliminary screening for a major bank for their teller position - because I don't have "cash handling" experience.

The online app for a large retailer known for their red circles is supposed to take 45 minutes, but mine took twice that. Does that say more about ME or the people who designed the program?

This process continues to screw with my head in ways I could never have anticipated.

The dinner plan was pesto chicken pizza and though I took out the dough to thaw at 11 am, it was still partially frozen at 4. So with my self-imposed sense of responsibility for providing dinner, I was under the pressure to come up with a plan.

Here it went: dice and saute two huge pieces of chicken in canola oil, salt and pepper. Dice half an onion and mince 5 cloves of garlic. Saute in olive oil - careful with the temp... Boil up a lb of elbow macaroni - don't leave it up to Plus One to know when its overcooked. Just let him chop up the chicken. Take the artichoke hearts out of a small jar, chop em up. Reserve the liquid from the jar. Drain the pasta. Add a container of sliced mushrooms to the onions and garlic. Throw some red pepper flakes over the chicken, add the artichokes and artichoke liquid. Get it all together, throw some more salt and pepper over it. Then throw it over the drained pasta, stir it without mushing it. Stir in a few big pours of parmesan cheese. Throw in a glass baking dish and in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes.

So much more successful than anything career related we did today.

I think I need to get out of Lancaster County tomorrow. Thankfully we have a car and a full tank of gas.
