Okay, I know I'm living in paradise, at least compared to most folks, especially in Missouri, but due to unforeseen circumstances, i.e. being a failure, and my admittedly lax financial oversight of late, I discovered today that I've a mere 29 dollars left in my bank account.

It's troubling of course to have so little money, but it's even more unnerving having mailed off checks yesterday for over four hundred dollars worth of bill payments.

I was going to quit drinking today, I swear it.

I tried several times to fill out an online application for a crime scene cleanup job, but due to a typo, or an overlooked blank, I'd be required to hit "back" button and make corrections. However each time I did, the entire form would be empty. I wrote the email below in a bit of a snit.

"filling out the employment form is a real pain in that if one must hit the back button to correct any info, the entire form is blank and requires the reentry of all data. Who designed this? This is rudimentary stuff!"

A reply came back.

All the information is held in a database session variable and when everyone else pushes the back button the form "IS" repopulated. There must be something "rudimentary" on your end.

Any suggestions?

Shit. I wonder if that will have any affect on my employment qualifications...

The reality seems to be that if anything can go wrong with a digital device I'm using, it will.

This also seem to apply to any service I contract, or restaurants I dine at...

I'm the consumer age version of "Job".
