My return to the working world!

Feb 10, 2002 15:57

In two weeks, I will return to the world of the souldead and head back into the laboratory. A few weeks ago, several classified ads ran in the Buffalo News announcing various opportunities of work I feel qualified to perform and thusly, I faxed out my resume to a few places. One place actually called back and said they'd like to interview me so I agreed and submitted myself to a three hour long job interview that felt more like an orientation and less like an interview. The people I met seemed really nice and the company seemed interesting enough, so I said I may be interested in a position there and I was offered one nearly immediately. I finagled a few extra bucks out of them and I will start working again very soon.

Why work again when I hated my last job so much? A good question, and also one I can answer. I need to determine whether I hated what I was doing or where I was doing it. I feel that I only hated my job because I hated my boss and subsequently, my work environment. Therefore, in a friendlier atmosphere, I might actually enjoy working again. Only time will tell.

Of course, I could also use medical and dental benefits. I have not been to the doctor in about three years and have not had a physical or checkup in seven years. I wholeheartedly believe in my immune system. I saw a dentist about two years ago, however, one tooth is far dingier than the rest in my bridge and I'm a little concerned and would like to see a dentist again. That tooth happens to be half fake, so I think the top half, the alive half, is dying.

Money is attractive. I can buy stuff with money and pay bills with money. Yeah, money is cool too. Maybe I'll finally buy a decent amplifier and a new computer and start that model railroad I keep talking about. I can buy Jill lots of gifts and I can get Zoe lots of treats. I need to keep the ladies in my life happy.

Hopefully, my new job will treat me well and keep me professionally happy. I've been professionally unhappy for sometime now and it has penetrated personal geoff. I try to keep personal Geoff in high spirits and I don't like anything fucking up my high, so to speak. I need to get things going on the creative tip as well, as I've had some good ideas lately and felt more inspired to act upon those thoughts.

Valentine's Day is coming up and so is my one year anniversary with Jill. Time flies when you're having fun. Jill keeps my spirits up and is a truly wonderful person and it's your loss if you don't know her or appreciate her. It also helps that she's very cute and does this little face where she kind of looks like a happy puppy. She also dances the crazy dance, which is worth a look sometime. She keeps me sane, so you should thank her for that, because we don't want crazy Geoff running around Buffalo.
