In need of a graphic designer/hair stylist?

That's right folks! If you are in need of a 54 year old Graphic Designer/Interior Architectural Designer/Exterior Architectural Designer/Cosmetologist/Marketing Specialist/Soon to be Flight attendant...I have just the guy for you!!!

This fabulous guy came in yesterday and asked me if I could help him. He wanted to know how to upload his portfolio booklet into some program I never heard of. I said, "I have no idea, I just make signs." He then asked me if I knew about 15 other graphics programs...I only recognized Photoshop - he looked at me like I was an idiot. He then began to tell me that he has 3 degrees and he's a cosmetologist, has a certificate in Marketing and he's going to school to be a flight attendant. I asked him 3 times where he worked but he never gave me an answer. He asked if I ever need a graphic designer, I said yes, sometimes it would be handy for the stuff I don't like doing. Then he proceeded to tell me how easy all the graphic programs are, how he would redecorate my shop, how he would change the exposure on the prints I have hanging up and how the humidity was affecting my prints and how I can adjust that. He also said most printers print using RGB...hmm. He was FULL of little tips on how to Photoshop and various other programs, he knew just about everything about EVERYTHING! He also told me abut how he uses his great talents to help people choose paint colors for their homes, but it rarely goes well so he won't do that anymore.

AND...if I would ask him to do an "up-do" (a hairstyle for a wedding, prom, etc.) , he won't do it!!!! Because "all the girls want spirals and I will NOT have my good name associated with a "spiral".

I knew I should have left at 5...what a STRANGE EXPERIENCE!

We once had an applicant stop by to inquire about a job posting were running at the time. The person was wearing slippers! And when asked to send in their resume per the reader board email address..., well couldn't do that.

The funny thing is he said he just moved in across the street, down a couple houses AND I just got a dumpster delivered...hmm the meth smoking thing is plausible!

I have the entire thing recorded on my security camera...I should re-watch it later just for fun - No Boudica, I'm not going to post it LOL

Now I feel slightly mean...

He just emailed me his portfolio and it does appear he was telling the truth. He just graduated in 2021 with a bunch of degrees and he's looking for a job.

At any rate, he still may have been smoking meth behind my dumpster, it's impossible for me to know for sure. His Carhartt was dirty and torn, likely from the dumpster...

I wonder if all of those degrees will make him look over educated, but experienced in nothing. Also... maybe meth is how he stayed awake to study for all of those degrees?

Did you ask to see his credentials ?? What number and version transgender card did he have ??

That's funny! I stalked him on FB, Trump stuff all over it. And yes, he's experienced in nothing...and he said his friend told him she was going to be a flight attendant and he said that was his next venture because he can do his computer stuff from the airport. Jack of all trades, master of none LOL

This reminds me of a dream I once had. I was walking through the sewer knee deep in sludge when I slipped and fell on my face in the sludge and as I got up my mother was there asking me why did you where your best pants to walk in the sewer! And then the dream began....
