No what I meant is that you have no place in a conversation about superior beings.
-Well its isn't whether I hurt your feelings or not its just not something I think I should say.

Yes that's just unreasonable.
ugh...... thats all i have to say for today.
wow .... descended into the depths, huh?
My bitch for the day: yesterday and today I couldn't get enough sleep because recruiters started calling me at like 7:45 am.
Sure, it's my own fault for going to bed at 5 am, knowing that I'm in demand and all. But still! Effing recruiters... couldn't wait till like 11 at least?
Were they Mormons recruiting you for their religion?
Like most days, I'm happy to report no bitches today. Unfortunately a lot of people think I'm bitching when I'm just bringing up topics for discussion.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Nope, job recruiters. Apparently someone with exactly my skillset is in an absurd level of demand around here.Originally Posted by Animeniax
However, the first interview I went to this month, I ran into some Mormons at the station while I was on my way home. I was dressed in a suit and tie carrying a backpack, they were dressed in suits and ties carrying a backpack.
They were the most understanding missionaries I've ever talked to. I didn't even have to break out my dabblings in Bible scholarship or my extensive repertoire of Zen parables to get them to go away.
Anyway, Tuesday was the only day this week that I didn't have some sort of interview. Wednesday of next week is the first weekday that I don't have an interview scheduled yet. It's ... seriously getting a little out of hand. I think the interview I went to day is very likely going to result in a favorable sounding offer....
That's why I don't even give them my #...I make them email me instead.
Another option is to get up a grandcentral account and just instantly send people to voicemail if you're not available.

Today I sliced my fingertip on the blade of the deli slicer and it hurt like a bitch. That thing is so damned sharp my finger wouldn't stop bleeding. At least I was smart enough to apply pressure to the cut right away and it's closed now but I'm wearing a fresh bandage just in case it re-opens. Hooray for fingertip cuts.
You work at a deli? Pretty cool man. I'd like to work at a deli.
I lost a pair of $60 sunglasses today. Add that to the $80 flashlight I lost a year ago out here, and it kind of sux.

Every time I see that word I think of "fleshlight."
Nah, we just have a small deli at my parent's corner store...nothing crazy. I was bandage-free for a little while but then it started opening up again. I think I've gone through 5 bandages today.
Subway sandwiches are the best.
little soul your dreams are waitin'
crapping up...
hold them closely
never let go, never let go... <3
Depends which one and who makes them. I worked with this girl who didn't wear gloves when mixing the fake crab with mayo (by hand, not with a mixing spoon) or when making sandwiches, until it became mandatory. She still mixed the fake crab without gloves. Freaking gross.

Eww!
... I have an interview at 3 pm today in a place that's 20 minutes away by car, 35 minutes by bus and almost 2 hours by metro. I'm really wishing I had a car about now, but at least there is a bus that's a good option. Not like yesterday...
You don't own a car? Wow, what's that like?
Maybe it's a good sign that the company isn't right for you, since it's so far away. Or is it just that the interview is far away, like at a nice restaurant?

not having a car has been pretty standard for me for a while. I had one for about 6 months in college until it broke down.
I've got roommates and friends that have taken care of transportation needs in the past, and both where I went to college and where I'm living now there's fairly extensive transit systems, so ... it works out ok either way.
But yeah, soon as I've got an offer, I'm going car shopping... there's a lot of lack of freedom when you've gotta pester your friends or roommates to go anywhere. Especially with the current roomies, who're both paranoid about their (relatively cheap, relatively shitty) cars and won't let other people drive them.
The interview today is actually at the site I'd be working. The interview yesterday was 2 and a half hours by train/bus, but is only 25-30 minutes by highway, in traffic.
So Favre finally retired not really a bitch or a shocker, knew it was going to happen someday but still.

I interviewed for a what would have been a really good job last week. Pay wise i was thinking around 30-35,000 / year. So, today i came across this company advertising the position as $50,000 : ( *kicks self*
yesterday I had a big meeting w\ the owner, co-owner, and my 'boss' who hired me about making me full time. Basically I told them I need around $30,000 / year... so now i guess i'm waiting for them to either A.let me go, B.Hire me and pay me what I asked or C. Make an offer to pay me less than what I asked.
So now I have a handle on the job situation. I've got two offers on the table. One's a very competitive salary that I could probably get about $5k/yr more. The other's a grand less than the first's preliminary offer, and that's as high as I could get them to go, but it's a better job with better hours and benefits. Commutes are comparable.
So now I am faced with a dilemma: do I take the slightly lower-paying job with kickass benefits that'll guarantee me an 8 hour day and lower pressure, or do I take the higher-paying job with not quite as kickass benefits, which will not guarantee me 8 hour workdays?
To put it more directly: how much is 6 grand really worth to me?
That's up to you, complich8. Also depends on how much total we're talking here. $6k within the $50k range is more significant than $6k within the $100k range. For me, $6k pays about 3 months of bills....which...isn't that amazing. Over time, the cons of a job will carry much more weight than the pros, so don't accept terms that you might not be content with six months from now.
Or, if you're going to job hop like I did, which one will help you move up faster?
