    I now have several job applications, excellent criticism of a resume (thanks, murlynns_view!), 3 work related references, and 1 or 2 non-work related references as soon as they get asked. Which means tonight, there be the mass firing off of applications. If things go according to plan, I’ll have … Read the rest

  • And an update, because I said so.

    , ,

    Well, that, plus it’s about 20 minutes before go time, and I know certain people are too damn lazy to click on links I post here, so an actual explanation is probably in order. The office I’m currently working at, y’know the one for Dell, not gonna be workin’ there … Read the rest

  • Welp, it’s official.

    And I can’t really say I’m surprised. On the positive side, I’m up to my eyeballs in job ads. That aughta keep me busy ’til June-ish.

    the work day, that is, not me. Though navigating OC Transpo tonight was all kinds of fun (hint: it ended in a taxi). So now, home, caught up on what little flist activity there was since 4:30 this afternoon, unburied from the 100+ emails (crap on a cracker, these people … Read the rest

    I have taken 4 calls. My shift is over half over. I know I won’t take 4 calls between now and 5:30. Fuckin’ sweet. wonder who I should IM first when I drag my ass through the door… *considers, then goes back to enjoying his lunch*

  • I think I know why I like doing this during the summer in particular.

    ,

    I’ve taken 1 call. I’ve been here about an hour and a quarter. that one call was something I couldn’t do anything about so maybe 10 minutes. I go on break in 2. ‘Nuff said? I think so.

  • I should be alergic to Mondays.

    ,

    On the bright side, I was able to download a small sampling of my music collection to what used to be my permanent webserver so I could have a listen from work. So at least the day won’t completely killify me. I now go look for reading/mocking material.

  • Depressingly slow, and it’s not even noon.

    ,

    I’m averaging a call an hour over here, and I’ve been here for 3. It generally tapers off come about the afternoon or so. staying awake/undistracted until shift’s end could prove challenging. Perhaps I’ll use my free time to, uh, I dunno… throw emails at certain people who may be … Read the rest

  • I am not bilingual. Stop sending me bilingual job offers.

    Guess I aught not to complain, since for like a month they weren’t making job offers–try firing people left and right. but I have not, and don’t plan to, have anything to do with French on a conversational/professional level. Like I told someone in a conversation over the weekend, some … Read the rest

    I should seriously not be tired. Yes, I’ve been up since 4:30 or roughly thereabouts this morning. Yes, I’ve been doing nothing but sitting on my ass taking calls today. Hence… why I should not be tired. Considering passing out when I get home. Of course, this is me we’re … Read the rest
