General Update
Jul. 29th, 2008 10:08 amSo, despite being out of work still, I think that my little depression is starting to drift away. I feel good, and mobo's food entry reminded me of strawberries so I might go and get some in a bit. ;) I've got an appointment at Kelly Services later today, and that might pan out something. Or Nick over at Aerotek might get me something. Or one of my billion and a half resumes might yield something (oo, need to make some callbacks today), or I might end up back in the Clerk's Office, which'd be alright, or the Justice Agency might finally pan out.
But rent is taken care of, which means that I won't lose my home, which is a GOOD THING. Sometimes it's the small victories. ;)
I'm glad to have the visit to the old office out of the way though. It really was the last place in the world I wanted to be yesterday. Luckily, it lasted all of a few minutes. Apparently either my old boss or his office-mate or both have hired a tiny little blonde girl who looks like she MIGHT be legal working age, but I'm not certain. Well, I suppose everybody needs a little eye-candy now and again.
I think the big thing tho, is that everything else in my life is really kinda wonderful. I don't know how to explain that, really. It just, is. I mean, despite a couple of "OMG I don't have a job what am I gonna do?!?!" breakdowns this weekend, I'm in a euphoric romantic relationship, my hobbit hole of a home is happy and welcoming (and a little bit messy, but I'll fix that today), I have a really fantastic and supportive group of friends, it's pretty outside... I mean, I dunno, I just, feel good about life. :)
Oh, and I dyed my hair black. Dunno, thought a change'd be interesting. =)
But otherwise, my world is a little bit boring. Don't worry, I'm sure it'll spunk right up when I get into a new job and have to do all the training shit (AAAAAH I HATE TRAINING!)
Love,
Crystal

Date: 2008-07-29 04:33 pm (UTC)Back in 2000 when I worked in the front office of a factory (total employment: 300, 60% male), they hired a receptionist who fit that exact description. She only lasted a week. Over the course of that week I think that just about EVERY single male in the factory, and probably a good portion of the married ones, asked her out. She seemed to be enjoying the attention at least at first, so I don't know whether she quit or got fired.
What I'm saying is, hiring eye-candy can backfire. At the factory, reception went from being a room that employees visited for their interview, their first day of work, and never after that to being a productivity-draining hangout for every unattached male. Not the best decision HR ever made.
