So I'm not working for The Fund anymore.  Didn't make quota for 2 consecutive weeks.  So thems the rules.  I would have been fine with that except that they didnt exactly tell me that.  Yes, its in the employee handbook, but I was pretty sure that "dont worry about it, just make quota next week" meant something different than "hey make quota next ( Read more... )

For the last 4 weeks I was working for the Fund for Public Interest. I was one of those annoying guys standing on the corner asking you to donate money to save the world. It was actually a pretty fun job and I was working with some cool people. I was doing pretty well at it too. I learned a few things that you might want to consider next time ( Read more... )

I had such great times and the kids were just awesome. On every trip theres "that kid", The one that I wished I could have sent home. Even on the CA2 trip that I loved there ( Read more... )

My boss told me I had to grow up today. Said it was time for adultery (by which he meant adulthood). So I have no job here in the fall. Which is bad because I don't know what I want to do in the fall, because I kinda like Seattle and its a good situation here, and because I haven't gotten the opportunity to really do the research I wanted to ( Read more... )

Not really much to write about but I had that interesting realization. During the summer I get paid about 82 cents per hour. I wish it were summer. No Country for Old Men was good though 9:50 show on sunday night wasn't the greatest of ideas and I missed American Gladiators. There are certain people I can't seem to get out of my head. Not sure ( Read more... )

It seems I have changed plans again. A month ago I moved to Seattle (well Redmond, which is very pretty but annoyingly far from Seattle), and started what I was figuring would just be a random research job while I figured out what I was doing. Turns out that I am now essentially doing graduate work. Not really the lab bitch-work I was expecting ( Read more... )
