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.

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

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

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

    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

    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.
