The people running businesses here in West Virginia are idiots plain and simple. I went to a job fair because the ad promised on the spot interviews only to find out the company was just doing a "meet and greet" session to take the next two months, go over all the applications, and call people back for serious interviews. Like I said, idiots.

Ignorant people are easily corrupted by the power of a position they neither deserve, nor are qualified to work. The head housekeeper who called me for the interview didn't seem to know what she was doing anyway, so I have to wonder how much sucking up to the big boss she did to actually get her job. Considering she had two months to call me for an interview, why didn't she get off her butt long before the holiday and call me back then? Going over a couple months of back applicatins tells me (an my mom who also worked in housekeeping, how do you think I got my first job?) that someone at the hotel quit, and they were expecting a major booking which would have been trouble for whomever they had left in the department. Legality is not important to me because that's not really a job I wanted anyway, and I won't apply there again till I see an "under new management" sign, so it's of no consequence to me. I called back like I said I would on Wednesday for the very reason that I promised I would, and it would serve to show them that I'm the kind of person who keeps my commitments, and would make a great employee if they would have just shown a little bit of patience. Because they didn't show me any patience to set up the interview, I know I wouldn't be treated very well as an employee there, and I don't work where I'm not going to be treated like a human being.
If you recall, it was the interviewer for Bob Evans who told me, last year, that "this job isn't rocket science" and "we're looking for experience" in the same breath. I apply there every time they put up the hiring sign though, just to let them know they let a potentially great employee walk right out the door back when they wouldn't hire me. If they choose not to pay attention to the applications like they're supposed to when they call and don't leave messages, then that's their problem, not mine.
The holiday celebration went okay. I learned a few things, had fun, and all that good stuff.

I'll handle the audio first. It's normally bad practice to tell others what you hear with these things, so I'm not really going to detail what my mind hears in the clip, but give it a couple listens, and keep in mind you're listening for a whispering voice. It's very important to this kind of research not to taint it with any bias, and if you hear anything distinct after a couple listens (loop it if you have to), let me know what you hear. I haven't worked on the other clips yet, I'll try to get to them soon, but one of the five total EVPs I got can't be posted anyway, it's actually on top of my sister and I speaking about something, so it's tough to pick out, and even harder to filter for clarity.

I take pride in being able to demonstrate to an employer that my word means something. I don't have a steller work history to show off, I don't have "in demand" work related skills, I'm not outgoing, I have no professional or personal references, and I do terribly at interviews, but at least I can show to employers that when I say something, they can expect action. If I say I'll do something, I do it, it's that simple. If employers don't want committed and dutiful employees, then there's something seriously wrong with businesses in America today.
To answer the travel question simply, No I've never done paranormal work outside of West Virginia. It's a relatively new hobby for me and I can't afford to travel to any of the more prominent sites in the country, I can't afford to travel to many "better" sites even in West Virginia. My brother who's more a of a history enthusiast, particularly regarding the civil war era would get more out of such a trip to Virginia or the Carolinas or even Georgia anyway. And since I'm not a West Virginia native, I don't really care if anyone misassociates the states' identities (I will correct it if the situation warrants though, this one does not). This isn't my home, I have no special attachment to it.
