Application

I haven't filled out a job application as anything more than a formality in almost five years. My last actual "Can I have an application?" was when I applied at KFC, which, it has to be said, really didn't turn out well for anyone involved.

I was hired on the spot for every job since, and was actually offered my nannying position.

And yet, here I am, age 22, steady income, stopping in at the mall, Target and Barnes and Noble with the words "May I have an application?" I'm mildly terrified.

I am, however, keeping my fingers crossed for Barnes and Noble. If I can't work at the library, a bookstore is a close second.
