They bloody well aught to whine, GG.  Accepting miseries imposed on you by force by your betters is not a sign of strength of character - its a sign of weakness.



Like Thai hookers?

Well, its not a good example as they actually recline in their work, much less have to stand up all day.

The first thing  did, though, was call ONG's HR department and he is going to sit down with the HR manager and the hiring supervisor of my department and see what he can do.

He should let me know by tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.  One job I should hear back from either the end of the day today or first thing tomorrow.  

1) Yeah that's not encouraging.

2) How is that possible for any job other than a minimum wage one?  No one knows that fast or is that desperate considering you only called on them today.

What job could BushOK possibly get other than a minimum wage one?

Heck if I went back to the Bad Place that's all I could get.

Ugh.  Little life lesson for you fellows - don't ever turn what you love into a job.  You'll just ruin the fun in it.

I think you'd probably be able to do better than minimum wage, although you'd have to keep your attitude hidden. As an employer, I don't like it when my employees try to tell me what they believe themselves to be worth. But they're all making far beyond minimum wage, too.

Maybe they just don't believe in interviews in Oklahoma? Yeah, weird.

I don't think it's all that strange. He had a job there as of just a few days ago, so he wouldn't need to go through a lot of the formalities of a typical interview. And maybe they're just seeing if they can pull some strings and place him in his old spot or elsewhere within the company where a transition would be easy.

He tried calling me back today, but I missed his phone call by just one second.  I called the number back and left a message on his phone since it was already 4:30, so he should try to call me tomorrow morning.  I will also call my supervisor first thing in the morning.

Here is my agenda for Tuesday -

5:30 am - Wake Up
6:00 am - Eat Breakfast
7:00 am - Start Waiting on Calls
7:30 am - Call my Supervisor
8:00 am - Leave line open for any other calls
6:00 pm - Vote
7:00 pm - Watch Election Returns

I'm not going to go anywhere other than to vote unless I get a call directing me to go somewhere or get a negative call.

I don't mean his old job, obviously his supervisor and HR should be able to decide without an interview.  I meant that some other job might not require an interview, although it's unclear what "hear back from" means.

I went through a temp agency to update my profile from 2007, the last time i was in there, and had a specific job in mind when i went to apply.  The guy at said temp agency said he would get in touch with them and let me know.

They remain to be seen.  The Wedding plans are still going to happen as planned, unless I don't have a job by September 1.  Then, we'll postpone it for a while.  Christmas, is... well... Christmas.  Of course, it would be more enjoyable if I had a job living in my own house.

Why does it take you an hour to eat breakfast?

Also what kind of terrible job starts at 7:00 in the morning?!

It doesn't take me an hour, but there was other stuff in the middle of that hour that I chose not to mention.

Very good jobs.  I'd rather start at 7:00 than 8:00, because I get off earlier.

Does Bushie not have a cell phone? He can't be out doing something and take a call? Even my grandmother had one before she passed away.
