• Fastest application tossing rampage I’ve gone on in a year.

    But they got out there. And just as soon as I can track down a few more, they’ll be going right behind ’em. Demanding? You have *no* idea.

  • If I could drive, I’d turn in my license.

    Two and a quarter just to fill up by 2012? Per liter, just for the record. So for you US people that translates, roughly of course, to oh my fucking expensive. Oh. My. Fucking. Expensive. Note to self: we’ll just walk to work from now on, give folks one less excuse to fire up their vehicles. It should not cost more to put gas in the car to go for coffee than it does to go for coffee…

  • Wherein James kicks ass and takes names.

    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 an interview or 3 lined up for the next couple weeks. By about mid-May, I hope to be able to give my notice. While I still have some sanity left. for a bunch of people supposedly around my age they seem to be rather enjoying being 16 for a minute.

  • 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 no more. Not after about June 27th anyway, as they’ve decided to shut the place down after then. So last night was spent largely overhaulling a resume I hadn’t touched since I got the job in late 2006. And by late 2006, yes, I do mean practically 2007. I’ve also been sort of stacking up job applications, so when my occasionally OCD brain decides that yes, my resume is in fact good enough to be fired off at these people, it will be fired off in about 20 or so different directions. And that’s just the applications I found on about 10 minutes of looking; according to murlynns_view, there’s a handful more on a site I’ve yet to start snooping around on. As can probably be expected, that malfunction will be corrected. Today. As for right now though, my plan is simple. Leave someone a quick IM, then haull ass out the door like it’s nobody’s business. Because I do that kinda thing.

    Edit: Apparently my plan also consists of getting the mother thing off the phone. Her timing, to put it as politely as possible for me, fucking sucks. And now I go.

  • 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.

  • I do believe we have our first attempt at a thunder storm.

    And me being able to spend the evening at home to actually enjoy it. something I couldn’t do a whole lot of last year. Awesome. If I had to pick something I enjoy about summer up here, I do believe this would be about it. Well, that and baseball, but that’s kind of a given.

  • Ganked from sheyrena.

    This is absolutely perfect. I dare say I’m probably well entrenched in the YFYP category. Which… actually works out rather well for me. Who knew? And now, back to getting MS Word to cooperate so I can update my resume and make myself look hireable again.

  • Dead as a doornail.

    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 can’t email me while I’m working?) that have collected since leaving the office, and about 30 seconds from ordering pizza. Because sweet mother of fuck, I don’t feel like cooking tonight. Even if my definition of cooking is the microwave.

  • Then she’s a frickin’ moron.

    Woman lied about abuse to teach boyfriend ‘lesson’. So since she’s already sitting in a jail cell until her boyfriend’s trial, are they gonna do anything about her filing a false police report? Probably not. Because, you know, they put her through enough hell when she was playing victim. And she played it well, too.

    “It’s just so unfair man, I never did anything. I’m not like a bad woman and I go rob people and murder people, you know,” Mowatt said in a telephone interview. “I thought they only put guilty people in jail, not innocent, pregnant women.”

    I said it once, and I’ll say it again. People, for the most part, suck. she should be shot.

  • Guh.

    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*
