Today seems to be a day worth blogging about. Today I'm once again back on the lam, as work has decided to end my temp contract. No hard feelings, an exchange of contact information, a shaking of hands, and a farewell. Sucks, but so it goes. However it seems odd that this happened today, of all days ( Read more... )

So I'm finishing up training this week with Pearson Education, and on the phones next week. Friday I get paid, and can get off of bauske and ebdain's couch. I can finally get food again. I can pay my student loan again (which is sending me overdue notices now). I can stop bumming ( Read more... )

So...that job I didn't know what exactly it was; turns out it was for Kirby vacuum. Went through their training, all signed up, and have worked three full 12 hour days, at no pay. No sale, no commission. So I'm not sticking with them (though I do want one of their vacuums). Thankfully, I haven't gotten word back from one of the tech support jobs I ( Read more... )

In a word: exhausting. The morning meeting for getting to work pretty much set up today as the worst day out of all the jobs we'd be doing this next week. Why is it the worst? ~200 workstation, and monitor replacement, asset tagging, and storing ( Read more... )

Already finding really good jobs I'd fill perfectly.

Replacement job or no.... I've got two weeks.

So I'm trying to work on my plan to GTFO, but having trouble figuring out where to start. Do I find a job first, and then go for finding a place of my own, or just the reverse? Problem is, in getting one, what happens if I can't get the other? Get a job, but no place to stay; do I sleep in the office? Get a place but no job; how do I make ends meet ( Read more... )

So today, myself and everyone else on the project had a short little meeting. To put it short, the meeting was "Do better, or GTFO!", because apparently the client got so pissed of at our numbers and escalations that have been sent up that we all were effectively to be walking into the office with pink slips along with our paychecks ( Read more... )
