Reference checks

Alas, not looking up words in a dictionary, or trudging through a college library (remember microfilm?), but calling people for job references. Took us all day. I had two that were faxes. One person laughed that they had been used as a reference as they barely knew them. I had one listed as "grandma" and one that was someone they had babysat for. That's not counting all the wrong numbers, the six-digit number, the reference in the Phillipines...

Out of about 50 applications we completed only 4. Going to be a long week. I'm starting to look forward to barista training in San Jose later this month...
