[Previous entry: "It's Funny"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Prepare for Prattle"] 09/18/2002 Archived Entry: "Temporary Problem Solving" I got a job. It was bound to happen eventually; after four months of searching I finally have a source of income, albeit temporary income. It's a temp job. I will temporarily working for the a company that is going to be very busy for a short time. I have no idea what I will be doing but I know that I will be wearing a tie while doing it (so I guess I won't be lugging boxes around). After all the applications I filled out and all the resumes I sent out hoping to get a job as a web designer I finally get a job in a completely unrelated field. It would be a lot more of a relief if this meant that my job hunt was over; however, since this job only lasts until the end of November my job hunt must continue with the same intensity I have previously exhibited. Oh, crumbs. Well I decided that I would IM my old pal Chris Livingston of notmydesk.com and tell him to news to see what his take on the situation would be. It was as could be expected: Chefelf: hey! tempfella: hey there! Chefelf: guess what? (you'll be so proud/disgusted) tempfella: um, what Chefelf: i just got my very first temp job!! tempfella: wow! tempfella: congrats/i'm deeply sorry Chefelf: haha... thanks Chefelf: any words of advice that you can give me before my first day? tempfella: hm tempfella: don't do it? Chefelf: if only that were financially possible, my friend tempfella: ah tempfella: well, then do it as badly as possible tempfella: without getting caught Chefelf: gotcha Chefelf: what is the best way to steal things? backpack? underwear? hollowed out melon? tempfella: balance them on your head tempfella: totally unexpected Chefelf: will do! Chefelf: i feel like i couldn't do this without the two years of reading your site and the sage advice you've given me right now. i think i'm ready tempfella: make me proud Chefelf: i will chris. that's all i want out of this job God, I hope this doesn't suck. I guess having money for a change is worth any amount of suck that can possibly be dished out.
