"human factor" (or lack thereof)

Sadly this is going to be a poor me and screw it all kinda blog. I am, or we are both looking for jobs cause we are struggling so bad. As I am filling out all these apps I am thinking to my self that it is ridiculous that you can not just go into an establishment, speak to a manager, ask for an app, fill it out, hand it in with your resume then call....! Why is it that we have to spend 30-55 min filling out some stupid ass assessment!?!? It isn't going to tell the employer anything really about you other than you know you have to pick "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" in order for them to even browse our app. Cause god knows if you are truly honest about your availability or your view of yourself, your app wont even be pulled.
I am not really sure why it all has to be this way and after the third assessment today I am fucking fed up.. I know I need a job and I would like to find one that I love or can at least tolerate but damn!  Trying to decide if I "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" that I am affected by stress is a JOKE. Cause hell yes I am. I am stressed as hell just by the question alone. Not to mention the fact that I have a one year old climbing on me and hitting the laptop, or climbing on the table with trying to answer the stupid ass question! I know that some people think that technology is helpful and is such a great advancement for the world but what about the "human factor"? (sadly I learned that word from a former employer explaining to me that they had none)
Human Factor... I think that we are all loosing sight of this and that we are so concerned with computers and numbers that, as customers, consumers and employees that is all we are. Numbers and money. We are no longer feelings and different situations as far as our families or different life styles go we just have to push all we are and all we have tried so hard to become aside to make sure that we bend over backwards for those numbers. I hate it!
I would love to find a job cleaning someones house so that I dont have to worry about the whole numbers and money thing. I can just go in and do what I need to do to make that person feel happy and some what relaxed when they get home then bring my money home to spend it on my kids. people helping people. I want that.
