I guess it's all relative.

OK, the test results. I still type 70 words per minute, but I made 2 mistakes, so drop that down to 68. I had some trouble with the MS Office testing, in that I kept wanting to do what it told me to do and it kept asking "Are you done with this question?" instead of taking my keystrokes. Nevertheless, I got a 91% on Word, but I stunk on Excel with a 78%. When I got the email response back from the recruiter, though, she said I did great, and that the national average for XL is 65%. I guess I feel better, because I really did know how to do almost everything they asked me to do (I just couldn't make it work faster than the pop-up), but on the other hand, I was appalled to only get a 78, which equals C+ in grading language. So, maybe I am much more qualified than most of the other applicants, which is a good thing for me and a bad thing for local employers in general. On the other hand, all I have received today are 4 emails from different companies wanting me to do insurance sales and direct sales is definitely NOT my gift.

I'm feeling pretty unwanted. Maybe this is supposed to teach me patience. Ya think?
