…and so the other shoe drops. today was (finally) my last day at work, a position which was supposed to last two weeks; they had claimed that they weren’t going to let any more people go (did i believe them? besides the point), and i had actually gotten into a rhythm of reading and answering [...]

alright, i’ve modified my opinion of my job. it’s not the worst job i’ve ever had, not by far. it’s just the stupidest. any job where you’re there for eight hours and only have work to do for somewhere around five minutes just seems counter-intuitive to me. (why am i complaining about not having work [...]
about three or so hours into my first day at work, i wanted to quit. nothing like sitting for eight hours and only taking about seven or eight calls, each of which maybe lasted a minute. that’s right. i was at work for eight hours and only “worked” for approximately 10 minutes, give or [...]

my orientation for work is tomorrow at noon. i got the impression from the “interview” that this orientation would be more general to the temping profession, not necessarily specific to my work in the “Microsoft call center” that seems to be all the (dubious) information i have about my upcoming position. why a temp needs [...]

whoops!
see, i forgot to pay it for a few months, and then i realized [...]
this morning i drove down to georgetown and talked with a guy in the career services office. he was actually pretty helpful - i’ve got a list of all the temp agencies in the area now, as well as a number of other places to look and possible leads to research. he also gave me [...]

alright, so i totally just applied for a job at “UPS”:http://www.ups.com… things must be getting desperate here. (no shit)
honestly, i’d take anything right now, especially temporary things, if i could just feel good about possibly being able to pay my bills. that would be nice.
also, on a random whim, i re-installed the “page rank extension”:http://pagerankstatus.mozdev.org. [...]
i just realized that i’m turning into a hermit. with multiple cats. before you know it, i’ll have a whole herd of them constantly mewling and pissing on everything and i’ll have stoppped leaving my house except to pick up the newest tv guide and yell at those darn neighbor kids always throwing shit on [...]
