Man I can't believe it's been over a year since I wrote anything on LJ. I dunno if I forgot I had it or if I lost interest or if I just decided that there was no point. But now I see that there is a point. It may not have anything to do with anything, but damn it, I write for my own enjoyment. Or sometimes just for something to do. As is the ( Read more... )

As I expected, the job was offered to another guy from the department. And I'm happy for him. I knew pretty well form the moment I saw that he was interviewing that he would be getting the offer. He's the best choice. So I'm completely okay with not getting the offer. Don't get me wrong: it sucks that I'm back to worrying about what I'm gonna ( Read more... )

What's sad is that it's been a long week already, and it's only Tuesday. There really needs to be a rule that says you can't be ready for the weekend before the week even starts. Then again, there also needs to be a rule that no one can ever have a job that doesn't make them self-sufficient and provide outstanding benefits. Just because we need ( Read more... )

So after two weeks at my job I have decided that even though it's boring as hell, it's not terrible enough for me to wish I weren't doing it. And getting my first paycheck was pretty nice, too. I've been hoping to be able to get overtime, just so I can fatten up my bank account a little faster and have more tucked away for when the job ends and I ( Read more... )

Damn my job is boring. It's all I can do to stay awake, and I know my productivity is low because of it. Well... and also because I'm too new to have really gotten the hang of it yet. But if I don't figure out some way to keep the urge to sleep at bay I'll never have good productivity. But I'm telling you, so far it is excruciatingly boring ( Read more... )

So I had my first day at work today. Possibly the longest 9 hours of my life. I didn't DO much of anything: just read company history and guidelines, emailed with my new work account, and watched everyone else work. Tried to figure out how to do my job by watching them work. I have the pieces to the puzzle in front of me, but I can't figure out ( Read more... )

I'm almost afraid to post this: I'm terrified I'll jinx my good luck. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, y'know? Because, miracle of miracles, I got the job in Morrisville. The recruiter finally called me, almost a week after they'd interviewed someone else for the job, and told me the good news. I mean, by then I'd already made peace ( Read more... )

So I nailed the interview yesterday. (Or did I already post about this?) I did so well that the guy stopped about ten minutes in and told me I was giving all the right answers... and then during my turn to ask questions stopped again to tell me I was asking all the questions. (!!!) He was very enthusiastic about how impressive my application ( Read more... )

Man, when things changed for the better for me, they really changed! I went from being hella depressed, unemployed, living with mother, etc., to feeling pretty right with the world overall and having a plethora of opportunities available to me. I've had a ton of interviews this past month. Like, enough that I'm actually starting to feel like I ( Read more... )

Y'know I generally consider myself to be a patient person, but having had to wait a week and half for my second interview was awful, and now I have to wait another day or two before I know if I got the job or not, and it's making me feel distinctly IMPATIENT ( Read more... )
