This weekend will most likely be uneventful for the most part. I have to try and locate another job- as well as try and locate safety frames for glasses (I need round ones to handle the thickness of my lenses (hence the reason I normally wear contact lenses -- but current job requires no contact lenses)

If anyone has ever wanted to gague the performance of a temp service, here is a story you will love (yeah- right). At the end of Feb '06, Edison Comm College had a job fair in which Manpower, a temp service attended. They seemed like a very good company (and at teh time I was unemployed and looking for a job) I told manpower that and they told me to type up a resume and drop it off to them and they would get me a job. I did that and waited.... waited..... waited...


Last night I got a voicemail message from Manpower: they found me a job that pays signifigantly less than I had asked (9 $ is a very reasonable amount - especially on the low side) --- and that I need to call them back.

I did not call them back because I was ready to scream at whomever answered the phone. Had I not gotten a job through another temp service, I would have ended up penniles and homeless. I hope no one ever is put in that position -- so be very careful if you opt to go to a temp service (especially the one I went to, Manpower)



Spencer's store in Piqua is having 90% off today-- as it is their last day of being open. I stopped by and picked up some "bad Ass Bandaids" -- Needless to say I have a Bad Ass, and it needed a bandaid


Well, gotta go now: got done with work at 630 am, and have not slept since.

Later
