Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays

Sure working pays your bills and can be satisfying but while you're all at work tomorrow I'll be relaxing in a whirl pool thinking about a massage and a margarita. I got a pedicure at 10am on a Tuesday before going to brunch. Working is for chumps.

Unfortunately, I am not independently wealthy and will be looking for a new job in 2 weeks.

Until then I will enjoy my life while you're all at jobs that make you miserable and suck the joy from your life.

Except for the 4 or 5 of you who have jobs you love or jobs that at least pay well.


But if you're that fella in TN who's PM I will totally answer tomorrow or someone else who needs help job hunting, or you know of some great openings you want to recommend or if you want to bitch about how much you hate your job when you should be busy working I guess we can do that here too.

I dread joining the workforce after college. I mean goddamn.

Some schools have better career offices than others. At mine, my career adviser didn't know what AmeriCorps was.

I think I am going to buy the new Kanye West album tomorrow and just listen to it a lot in my car. Maybe I will go to school.

In this economy I don't think you'll have to worry about joining the workforce.

My youngest sister just went full-time at the bank she works at. She's finally getting paid holidays. I miss those.

What is the best way to look for entry level (Associates Degree) IT, tech support, or data entry these days?

Really I'd just like to do anything that isn't cashier or fast food.

GeoMitch

well im not even going into college until like, a year and a half so maybe the economy will be better by the time I graduate

Your optimism will help fuel the souldrained workers who are still employed. God bless you.

i remember repairing copiers for a job a while back

sometimes i wish i still had the simplicity of that

Zonugal

During this winter break I have to seriously begin looking for jobs in Seattle.

Oh boy, so much fun...

Hunter

Best job I ever had washing dishes. Leave me alone, dishes get clean.

If I could make the money and benefits I do now just washing dishes, I would do that in a fucking heartbeat.

natek

I have the opportunity to go full time at this job
where management has made no efforts to train or hire new assistants except for me
if I move up, I will get to deal with twice the stupid shit that goes on and have to put up with the other crappy part time assistants
I would occasionally have to work 3-midnight or later and then open up at 6 or 7 am the next day because I would be one of only three full time assistants
various other stupid crap

I think I will pass
maybe look for a new job to get some use out of this still fresh college degree

in five and a half years either the economy will be better or we'll have advanced to the level of hobo civilization

so either way it should be interesting

It was a marketing guy not knowing Copper was Cu, and he was looking for Co (which is Cobalt). It took an email, 3 phone calls, and he sent in a client feedback form giving me poor performance for not clearly identifying data.

By the way, in my introduction I always write what I did, what sample(s) it was, and what I was testing for in this manner: testing for Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Calcium (Ca), etc. Somehow I suck.

so you are, in fact, a man who deals with molecules?
