Holy hopping horse shit. I sent my resume in to a tech staffing firm and got a callback in a half-hour. Wow. And the job I was inquiring about pays a hell of a lot more than the place I got canned from. I've just got to wow them on the phone interview so I can get the in person interview. I'm confident I can...

Good morning. Your presence has been requested in this thread.
zarth:
Excellent. Something to look forward to.
The job search has been at a stalemate until today. I found at least three fairly promising leads not in my field exactly but in QA which I did for awhile. For no good reason I've decided to try and quit caffeine as well. Mostly because I blame a large portion of my fat ass on a serious Mt. Dew addiction. That'll eliminate damn near...

I've been weening myself from soda, and I realised I just needed to replace the caffeine with non-soda caffeine. I've gone apeshit on black tea. It helps. I've lost about 10 lbs so far... if I'd actually try working out once in a blue moon I'd probably be non-fat...

guess u know about the Escape from New York Remake.
Wow, so far posting my resume on various sites sure has brought out the scammers. I think I've gotten two or three offers to be a "financial handler". All I have to do is cash checks, and send 90% in and keep the rest. Wow! How awesomely legitimate! Lemme guess how this works. I get sent check - I cash check - I send Money...

I was afraid of that. I mean, the guy they chose is cool, but yeah... it's like remaking Big Trouble in Little China or... god forbid... They Live (I mean, Roddy Piper was built for that role).
A friend of mine posted his resume online and instantly regretted it (tons of spam and scams), and then regretted it even more later (he was hired on to the Zune team at microsoft).

I eagerly await the fusion of metal and bluegrass.
Also I tried to post my first tag in about a year and fucked it up. I suck at the internets. The plane has crashed into the goddamn mountain!

Wouldn't that be speed-metal?
I've long awaited Hardcore techo bluegrass punk. And post-polka.

Holy shit it's Thursday. Wow. And I haven't done a damn thing. Yesterday I at least cleaned the deep fryer. But today. Nothing. I think I'll round out that sloth with a little gluttony and have a few beers.
Also, I've been here a long time and have remained fairly active on the boards and I still don't understand why people come here, spam their...

He says you have to come over here and give it to him first. And take pictures. At least, that's what it sounded like in my head.

I haven't begun yet to see the phlegm. I know that is coming soon though. I cough like mad sometimes. Something (I assume it's some ugly sticky phlegm) stick in my throat and makes me gag. It is quite unpleasant. I just have to remember that it was cigarettes that did this to me, and not giving them up that did it.
So I took all my change and cashed that in at the Coinstar in the grocery store. And with that I bought the ingredients to make Pad Thai. At least I think so. I've never made it. I kinda went the cheap route and got a pre-prepared jar of Pad Thai sauce rather than get all the separate ingredients to make the sauce. I mean,...

I kinda have boobs. I blame bacon and all things smothered in country gravy.
best line EVER!
I am still laughing about it!

i can't turn down sausage biscuits and gravy. It could be crappy biscuits and gravy and i would still eat it. It could be crappy biscuits and gravy served on the ass of an unwashed homeless person, and i'd still eat it. That shit is like heroin to me.
Maybe we can get a bulk discount for bypass surgeries......

So being jobless sucks, but it has its' perks. For instance, I haven't worn pants in five days.

It's the freaking life, isn't it? I've been jobless, myself, for nearly a month. The couch has permnantly taken on the shape of my ass and my pj's have never been so comfy.
You are fucking hysterical, I brace myself every time I read one of your comments on the boards. Just thought I'd poke my head in and tell you that. Mighty entertaining guy, you are.

So I've been laid off for 48 hours now. I filed for unemployment already, I finished my resume this afternoon, contacted a client from the shitty job for leads, and emailed my old college professor for listings. I already scoured monster and careerbuilder and collected a good list of employers I'll send resumes to. The one thing that has me confused is if I move...

The guild is called Magic Camp. Gerp is an officer, and he's online now. Just message him for an invite and tell him who you are on SG.

Shit man, that sucks. I'm sure you'll land on your feet, you're a smart guy.
I infer from unraveled's comments above that you're a WoW player. I just got back into it after more than a year away. Hell, I just finished a three hour session. What server do you play on?

liquid awesome. hahah... i'm adding that to my list of words to incorporate in my daily routine.
It's a snow day! I think I'll sit around and design beers and beer labels and possibly look for revealing shots of Leelee Sobieski. Grrrowl.
So soon the details of my aunts estate will be revealed. My pops didn't say too much as he doesn't know all the ins and outs but he did say that she was far from poor. Very far. And that...

So my aunts' funeral is on Wednesday. I won't be able to make the trip up for it due to financial and job restrictions. I feel kind of like an asshole for missing it, but I think knowing my aunt she'll be ok with it. The impact of it all didn't really hit me until today. I'm not broken up about the fact that she...

Well, if there ever was an appropriate time to be emo, this is it. I can't imagine anyone not being affected by the death of a loved one.
tafkasp:
sorry to hear about your aunt. 
no shame in needing a shoulder to cry on man and no apologies needed. we all need that from time to time. and if ever there was a time to be emo about something, this would be it.
