Excellent! We must have more riotous cleavage-touting outings.

. . . or maybe just dinner. :)

YES! We have recently discovered that Sushi Maru is even better than Sushi Sake. You won't believe it! Of course you've been in CA for a while now . . . are your taste buds corrupted by superior raw fish by now?

No, they aren't corrupted yet. No one will go eat sushi out here with me and it's too expensive to go by myself! I've been going to Ranch 99 down the street and buying fresh fish though, which has been super tasty... mmm...

There's a sushi boat place in Sunnyvale called Sushi Maru that is good and relatively inexpensive. Fill up on soup and salad, then supplement with sushi. It's great for a fast lunch or dinner alone.

Oooh yeah Sushi Maru. I know I've seen that place.

I think as a consolation prize for getting fired, I'm going to take myself out to lunch.

Also, you were right about officeteam. First sign of trouble from one of their assignments, and they side with the client, not the candidate. I was just told on the phone they are only going to place me with short term assignments for now. WTF!

Yeah, I'm not keen on their techniques. They can afford to burn bridges, though. They are the foremost employment agency there. Fucktards.

Don't let it get you down. There are tons of agencies out there. I think I may still have contact information for most of them. It might be out of date, but it will give you leads. I'll dig around for it. I had about a dozen in my back pocket after my assignments were up.

I wish there was a way for me to say "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU." to them. I think I may write a letter to all three recruiters; not that it'd do any good, but fuck them, they're ASKING for it.

But yeah, I need to get re-signed-up with more temp agencies (I of course burned the only other bridge I had with a temp agency when I took this job and canceled an interview they'd set up for me).

Or better yet, find a full time job of my own. They told me I was fired for using the internet, and I'm sorry, but that's bullshit.
