Nor Cal Job Hunt, Lottery, & the News
Had
Luck, didn’t know it
So I guess this whole time I’ve been gainfully employed, I’ve been lucky. I mean, I have gone from job I wanted to job I wanted without much hassle. Now that I really need a new job (what with relocating and all), I find I couldn’t get a dog to sniff my butt if I put a T-Bone between the, um, the uh…. Well, my cheeks.
And why is this? Just because I’m moving? Because I’ll tell you, when I initially listed my resumé on monster.com and careerbuilder.com, I got phone call after phone call from Southern California employers who didn’t bother to read the whole thing about relocating to Eureka.
So I changed all my contact info (other than my phone #) to reflect a Eureka address (think 123 any street, Eureka, CA 95501). Then, the phone calls stopped. Because even though I’m desirable in hellish So Cal, I’m basically trash in Nor Cal.
The Solution
I’m going to go back to So Cal this weekend, and play the Lotto. $17 million up for grabs, I think that could pretty much solve the problem.
OK, Just Kidding
Well, sort of. I am going back to So Cal this weekend. Dammit.
And I may play the lottery. Don’t say it.
Some Good News. Sort of
I have two interviews tomorrow. Target & Walgreen’s. Not that I think anything great will come out of it. I have already informed the interviewers that I’m not just some guy, and I’m not looking for some hourly wage job. I’m a CSU Graduate with a BA in Business Administration: Management, and I expect to make something worthwhile! I didn’t put myself through 4 years of college to earn a little more than I could have the whole time than if I had not.
I’ll just have to stay vigilant, stay on the phones, and pull the wool over someone’s eyes. Just kidding… Even though I didn’t walk away with a job this week, I think coming up here was still the right thing to do. I prefer doing stuff face-to-face, and I am hoping that it will show the people up here that I’m not just some guy shotgunning my resumé out willy-nilly. Oh no, I’m actively handing-out my resumé willy-nilly. So I must be serious.
Hopefully it counts for something. Hopefully. Hopefully $40K+ annually. Hopefully.
Oh, and the news. I pay attention, I do!
Imus is gone. Yay. What a douche. The least he could do is apologize without an attitude. Show some remorse and some humility. He said I’m sorry with a furl in his brow and was upset that people were actually demanding one from him.
Duke players officially… what, pardoned? Cleared of charges? Given their innocence that they are legally supposed to have until proven guilty anyways? Yeah, I wasn’t surprised. As details emerged, this case looked more and more like a some high crackwhore out for some revenge because they thought of her as a crackwhore, those crackers. When the girl that was also there with her refutes everything about the story except that they were even there? Not a good sign for your prosecution. Billie Jean, that's all I have to say.
And I hear the Colts won the Super Bowl! How about that?!
Peace.
