Huh? You're surprised to not get a job when you told them that you essentially weren't interested?

Haha I rode out most of the pandemic in rural iowa…

I live in rural NC like my backyard is 10 acres mostly leased out to a company that grows sod atm. However, at least my town has a couple of gas stations, a grocery store, and a dollar general…

Fucking go to a rural town in Iowa, there is a post office, gas station is 30 minutes away, have to walk to the end of the road to get cell service….

Jesus I spent 6 months working in Gnome Alaska and somehow Iowa was worse

I traveled Iowa for a bit as a power line auditor before I knew what I wanted to do. I was starting to get into the wide stretches of nothingness, and rolled up on a town about 20 minutes from Carroll. The motel they had me staying at advertised dial out phones and color tv. I decided, right then, that I would hate Iowa until the day I die.

Also, my dad is from there and he’s a bastard. But I mostly blame the motel.

I'm really hoping this is the hotel in my hometown. Everything about it fits, and it's truly a terrible place.

I'm sorry. Illinois welcomes you.
