First, the no-post from last night was due to some late-night Halo activity spotted just outside of town. It was unfortunate, but unavoidable. . . Also, I wanted to thank both piwok (20) and twinsissy (20) for the advice after the last post. I am planning on following the suggestions offered by both of you. But I have another something in the mix (which isn't quite ready for blogging yet) that I want to get taken care of first. . . Today was mostly running around town, taking care of whatever errand I could think of or create as a reason to leave this damn room. Therefore, instead of boring you with my trips to Wal-Mart, K Mart, Walgreens, Big Lots. . . You get the point? So, instead of this boredom: some more song lyrics:
"Why you at the bar if you ain't poppin' the bottles?
What good is all the fame if you ain't fuckin' the models?
I see you drivin', sportscar, ain't hittin' the throttle," Nelly, "Hot in Herre"
"Imagine you go away,
on a business trip one day,
and when you come back home,
your children have grown and you've never made your wife moan." Regina Spektor, "The Ghost of Corporate Future"
"My my my, it's a beautiful world.
I like sleepin' with Marie.
She is one sexy girl full of mystery.
She says she doesn't love me but she likes my company.
For now that's good enough for me." Colin Hay, "Beautiful World"
I'm grateful for music (20).

HALO - The Downfall Of Our Civilization....
....but, man, is it fun.
Just to let you know I did something very similar to this “Kris” person and had mixed feelings to this approach. Yes, it wasn’t a huge deal to the employer that I left after only a month of work but it was awaked and I did feel bad since I basically stayed long enough to get trained and then left.
This wasn’t the only issue either. My current employer did hire me based on my degree and previous experience but later confessed that they were a little concerned with hiring “some guy that just unloads trucks.” Even though I had done that just so I could be busy doing SOMETHING they saw it as “why is this guy with this experience and degree unloading trucks?” Depending on the other applicants I could see this as a reason to go with someone else and not you.
Of course all of this depends on all kinds of things – the temporary job, the new employer, the locations, etc… Everyone’s situation is a bit different. I’m not saying you shouldn’t look for something around here with the idea of leaving – I’m just saying to keep your options open.
Good luck and keep up the good work.
Long live Master Chief!
z-man: wort wort
mehen: Thanks for the advice. I've actually wondered how it would look to potential employers if I was stocking shelves or washing dishes or whatever. Maybe volunteering is a better time filler for me for now. It's good for the resume (though, I do have some issues with the idea of using charitable work as a means to advance my career). And it'll probably be good for my self-image as well. I haven't completely decided what my immediate move along those lines is going to be yet. But I do appreciate all the advice I can get. So thank you.
(insert clever Halo reference here)
