Yes, I’m an old fart - what’s wrong with these kids today
“It’s official” I said “were old fogies”.
Sitting back in my chair at Carrabba’s Italian Grill (one of our usual Lexington KY hangouts) with my business associate and bud, Mike of Fantasys, as we were talking about this new generation. You know you’re getting old when you start saying things like “what’s wrong with kids today” and “in my day we knew better“.
Recently Mike stated in his blog for Fantasys Escort Service a new quasi policy of “I’ve decided to go back to working more with the “mature women”. It’s always been against my better judgment to search out the “young-ins” because like it or not-they are notoriously UNRELIABLE and high maintenance. Hate the hell outta that! ”
Honest to god, we’re the ONLY Agency that I’ve ever seen that has real 18-20 year old girls and while they are easy on the eyes-they are a bitch and a half to work with. I’ll keep a few coming and going for new faces but I simply am not willing to keep up the pace to have them around. Wears me out.”
You would be amazed the number of applications I get from young women who don’t seem to get the fact our employment application is a “JOB APPLICATION“! Granted not everyone is a spelling bee champ however you would think proper use of English would be a given. Sad to say it is not uncommon for me to receive applications, which read like a teenagers Myspace page. Which incidentally it clearly states on the form the following: “Applications without photos, without a valid (working) e-mail address will NOT be given priority and probably ignored. ” I can count on about 20% of applications not having attached photos, the smart one’s put in the comments “I don’t have photos” which is acceptable. On several occasions I’ve had applicants literally tell me please go to my Myspace page to see my photo’s.
