is it going to look bad to future employers when they see i just up and left or what
Most people have to fill time in that period with little jobs.
It shows that you were working instead of sitting on your ass.
shit, and it would look better when i add it to my uni resume
fuck yes
I've had a number of times when I've done freelance stuff or saved in such a way that I could take six months off and travel around, and when it comes to interview time, I've always got people asking questions about it. Dear god, he has not maintained continual employment since leaving high school he must be a hippy slacker!
So just do yourself a favor and work those couple of months.
No wonder you got so many fucking homeless people.
Yeah, but they do live right around 50th street and 8th ave. One dude works for Bear Sterns (D:) and the other is at another well known firm, not sure which but together they make enough to cover the rent.
The view from their place will make your jaw drop, but still...really rather not spend that kind of money on a place i do not even own.
Astoria/Park Slope/Williamsburg/Fort Greene are all places which are coming up, close to NYC and wont rape you in the ass for rent.
Not like nyc will at least.
Sucks to be that guy.
We're getting off pretty easy across the river from D.C. paying $1400 a month for our one bedroom before utilities, but if we head about 10 minutes outside the beltway, I can pay the same for a two bedroom with a fireplace.
that's awesome for that location. i'm in ashburn, and this place is fucking ridiculous, especially for renters. just starting the process of looking for a home to buy. when i first moved out here i was in a one bedroom apartment, maybe 900 sq ft, $1300/mo. and it's only gotten worse.
thing is, we have to stay in ashburn for the kids, while i continue to drive to greenbelt every day.
no no it's not. I technically live in Alexandria, but we are past Landmark on the other side of 395 and the places around here are shit.
I'm fighting against a fiancee who doesn't want to live more than five minutes from her work and thinks that $1500 is WAY too expensive to pay in rent for any sized place anywhere.

That is probably the worst part about the United States of America.
Anytime not working is seen as slacking. Don't get me wrong, I work hard for my money and I get paid, but 240hrs of built in benefit time (sick/holiday) and 2 weeks paid vacation just doesn't cut it.

ooh, i used to work there on eisenhower right off the 495 connector. i briefly looked at the new townhomes around there and kept seeing around $2000-$2500 for three-bdrms, but they were mostly new and gated. hate that neighborhood.
fuck that, my mortgage is gonna be in that range anyway. hello toll road and commuting.
Allright, so tonight for one gig I'm running I had rehearsal to 11:00. No big, that's pretty much standard for me. Sure, I have a class at 8AM tomorrow and I'll be tired, but fuck, that's 6 and a half hours of solid sleep(Shower, breakfast, and all that taking the rest).
But then what happens? We get scores, which is excellent, and I go over them, they all check out, I'm ready to head back to my wonderful job here 'till my classes today and then rehearsal when BAM our producer tells me that apparently there's a production meeting tonight after rehearsal.
Goodbye chance of sleep tonight.
On the plus side the director is about the most amazing person in the world so you know what I'm ok with spending another 4 hours with her. But FUCKING HELL I really needed sleep tonight. What the hell job. Fuck you too.
I lost my job at the pizza place where me and three of my friends work. I was hired back the next week. I'm going to the police academy soon so it doesn't really matter.
An important part of my job involves the training. You never get to a point where you can stop rehearsing music.
During my voice lesson this week my teacher gave me a new English piece to work on. A contemporary art song that is usually required for competitions. Anyways, part of the song involves the word spume. Kind of unusual to hear in this day and age. My super old lady turns to me and goes "just don't pronounce it sperm" and I am almost in tears laughing. Old ladies are not allowed to use that word.
This Sunday is apparently Easter. I will be getting a lit of work that day because churches want to have people sing the arias from the messiah and that is kind of my specialty. 100 bucks a service to sing one or two songs.
The next weekend is a vocal competition. It is really an upper echelon thing, so I plan to lose hard. First prize is 3000 dollars. That money is already spent.
Sprinkled through this semester has been a school opera production. A cute little one act that is kind of lacking in harmony but is witty. I have worked with the director for 7 years now and always an amzed by her methods. She got me ready for the pro world.

Please, if I ever go through a voice lesson without hearing the voice teacher talking about sex 50 times or so I'm surprised.
How can you be shocked at a voice teacher making a sex reference?
So what kind of followup letter are you supposed to send when a company schedules a phone interview and then just doesn't fucking call?
Dear XYZ Company,
I understand that recently you had trouble with your phone. Perhaps this was a technological mishap, but it may also have been you not fully grasping the workings of a phone.
Enclosed please find several items that may help during our next scheduled interview.
1) Stamps. The postal system still works (as evidenced by my letter to you). You may mail me your questions and I shall respond as soon as I am able.
2) One (1) tin can, one (1) piece of string and one (1) set of directions. Please leave the can in your office take the one end of string and follow the directions. There will be another piece of string there. Using a knot of your choice, tie the string together. Upon returning to your office pick up the can and speak clearly. I'll be able to answer if I haven't been put to bed early by my mother.
There is only one hot voice teacher that I know of. He has tiny baby hands. It is distracting

Also, why the fuck hasn't that software company downtown contacted me yet?
They posted an opening that I fit perfectly. I sent them a resume and cover letter. I didn't hear back for a week, so I personally dropped off a followup letter and stated my interest in this position which I am fucking perfect for, and I still haven't heard back.
Fucking contact me, you assholes!

I always just emailed my follow up letter to the person(s) who interviewed me. Which was a huge pain in the ass to do for the job I have now. I had to email about 10 different people.

When my dad got me the job at the call center I knew my life was finally turning around. I moved out of my mom's house for the third time and my girlfriend finally stopped referring to me as 'nose' in public. Congratulations!
I get so mad at my job I sometimes break things
Little things easily thrown away and not noticed, or things easily replaced
But I'm not sure it's very healthy

Or he could recommend she go cool off by doing something that relaxes her, like Laundry, Dishes, or perhaps baking.

Just show up for your first day on Monday.
Especially since she's hot and not old.
And hot.
Hell one time she, in order to demonstrate, sang the song trying to seduce me with it, then having the hot student do the same.
I made a few mistakes there.
