"interesting work" conversation....some girls came in, talking. one girl is "I'm trying to figure it out...how do I start it?"

so I ask.

she says "Friends with benefits."

I tell her "If its with a guy, probably not too difficult."

she left.

and how was your week?

so continuing the job searching...honestly, almost 2 years of this bullshit. and still going on.

oh well...continue to defer my student loans. if Citibank says anything, I'll ask what big banks helped to create a situation where the schools had to lay off so many people, that the job market might be glutted for years with experienced professionals, making job searching for someone brand new...

well, no phone call, its been about 2 weeks. so time to continue searching.

just wish someone told me BEFORE I went into Grad School "Unless you know someone in the field to help you get in, don't bother."

I wouldn't have bothered then.


damn hypocrites...state that education is all about a level playing field for everyone...well, everyone except those trying to get a job...

so my week....

work overnight Monday night
Tuesday, get home, sleep...well, check on-line first....do I have a job or not? board of ed meets this week.
Wednesday, get new tires? front end alignment. depending on how much I pay for tires, rear brakes (just not happy with the work done by the dealership, going elsewhere).
Thursday....overnight. if I got the job, get up early, drive...

might be able to sleep if it wasn't so damn cold out.

seriously...mid-October and a frost warning here! Al Gore...maybe some of us WANT global warming, okay!

yeesh

(actually, I don't...but sometimes, yeah, I do).

itchy face no more...

so can't sleep...think its a combination of things. I slept from about 10 AM to 7 PM or so today, after working overnight. the initial shift wasn't too bad, since I got to do nothing but read (GQ with Olivia "I'm a babe' WIlde and World War Z). the front end had a crew in stripping and re-waxing the floor.

which isn't too bad, except...

well, I had the interview Friday. a bunch of Principals, the Superintendent, and Director of Student Services interviewing me. have I mentioned that I really hate the "Hypothetical" questions...like...

"Hypothetically, you get a call at 9 PM saying some students were in a car accident, even some fatalities, what do you do?"

my answer....first off, contact the Principal, then game plan from there. let's get...

Saturday: work at night

Sunday: work overnight

Monday: work overnight....do I hear back?

who knows after that....but for the near future at least, I...

so my former advisor responded....of this past graduating class, 2 found a position.

yeah, I seriously need to get out of a state who's governor (that was not elected, by the way but assumed the role when the previous, elected governor resigned over a scandal) is more concerned about figuring out ways to put money (with no strings attached) into the hands of the people...

2 new people hired at my store....

Person A: Okay, training starts at 7:00 AM, I'm there and ready to go at 6:45 AM. I'm a little nervous and quiet, but when they put me on the system, I'm quick. and when other people talk to me, I at least say "Hi."

Person B: for a 7:00 AM training, I get there at 7:30 AM....

ever go on Facebook (or a similar website), and find someone that you haven't talked to in a good 10+ years?

and you want to contact them...but realize they probably won't remember you. yet you still remember them.

yeah...I just did.

damn memory....honestly, a good memory is not always a good thing!


and on a different note....my former advisor contacted me...I'm not alone in the...
