4153: Neva Fall
Been occupied, I'm afraid. Though I'm still posting more often than some of y'all anyway. [not a rib, just an observation]
I may or may not have work after tomorrow--it's sort of been running long enough that there's a possibility of extension, but Fraidy hasn't been blabbing about This and That Project since before this week's Project, so not sure. I'm looking forward to the reversion to unemployment, actually--the schedule's been killer on my sleep pattern =(
[not that it was great before that, but I got too accustomed to getting back into bad habits following a stint vs. forcing myself to stay on and adjust to a permanent schedule]
[[though, to be fair, it's nearly the earliest I've had to get up for work, and though it's more regular than when I did the rotating schedule for NIH *and* had a hellish commute, it's still aggravating to have to go to sleep earlier than I'd otherwise like in order to get a reasonable amount of shut-eye time]]
That's perhaps the one thing going for IF a permanent position opened up at the current place--their [what I felt was] rigid timekeeping practically ensures I have no more than eight hours and forty minutes away from home every weekday, including travel time. I certainly couldn't say that for Target ¬_¬ and the unpredictableness of 270 [though mostly Exit 10] meant anywhere between an hour and THREE HOURS added to the nine at work at NIH =/ [but, at least I got to nap during my lunch hour]
I think I've given up on anything other than temp work for now. I haven't had any kind of grand plan for myself, ever, in my entire life, and even if I decided to take the plunge and go back to school to try to invest in a Real Job, I couldn't possibly decide what and end up still not having any solid ideas. Like... Business? That's all I can think of that would have any guaranteed use, but not sure how, or what to do from there...
I mean, it's not like I'm against never having a permanent job ever again, though I'd even go back to retail if I was guaranteed one of the regulated positions vs. one with constant threats of unwanted overtime [I recall regularly informing them I was going over, and they ALWAYS insisted it was TOTALLY APPROVED if I went over]. I just apparently have no background [despite the one guy at the other temp agency that never called me back claiming he was totally impressed with my resumé] with which to secure a job on my own--the trouble of being a socially-inept introvert with no overarching plans for life =/
But, at least for now since I've been riding on the coattails of parental spoilage and miscellaneous precautionary measures [e.g. being cheap as hell], I don't mind letting some other schmuck do the legwork for me. I just have to keep in mind the fiasco with filling out a billion pages of paperwork AND interviewing for a THREE-FUCKING-DAY JOB and NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN. It'd be nice if I could get another stint long enough to be worth adding to my resumé [I may lie about the length of my current stint to make it look better than "a month, on and off"] vs. the appearance of having been unemployed for nearly a year now.
I mean, I have to work on my resumé ANYWAY, and when better to do that than when off the job again ¬_¬
Anyway I drew this, and damn it, people should see it:
