Monday Already?

It’s the start of another week.  Weekends go way too fast.  How did it come that work weeks would be five days and weekends only two?

The job hunt is on again. I got a letter telling me I must be insane for applying at this company and to go suck it and never bother them again.  Ok, actually it was a very nicely worded letter informing me the position has been filled and good luck with my future endeavors.  But when you first read it, it reads like I first described.  But I am glad to at least get some kind of notice rather than waiting and wondering, as is often the case after interviewing.

Interviewing is the worst thing in the world.  Seriously I would rather have tooth surgery than answer “and what would Brent bring to abc company?”  “tell us about yourself”  and the all time favorites “what would you change about yourself /  name a weakness.”

How about naming a strength, like sitting through these questions without my head exploding.

Is it Tuesday yet?

Lottery tickets are like a lot of little instant disappointments.

Hi, I’m Brent and I’m back. Miss me?  Of course you did.
Soooo since I have been on hiatus from my online home a lot has happened…

Two more GOP Governors admitted to having affairs. Does being in the public eye make it harder (pun intended) to keep it in your pants?

Started Job # 2, it’s online and work from home 10-20 hours a week ranking, rating, and analyzing search engine results for a technology company. So far I’m liking it even though it is more challenging than I thought it would be. My time management skills need work, but that’s nothing new. I keep telling myself I will get up early and put some time in before going to Job#1 but my will to stay in bed as long as possible has won out.

Took a Civil Service Exam for a job with the city, discovered it was a test for accountants, did bad. Came out of test and discovered my two hours of parking cost $23.  So that day just did not start well.

Interviewed for another new job, still waiting to hear.

Michael Jackson died. Seriously though, enough already with the daily coverage, he might have been a great entertainer but he was no role model.

Farrah Fawcett died, sad and overshadowed by MJ and that’s terrible.

Sarah Palin, in the news again popping up like a roach that never dies.

Softball has been going well, winning some and losing some but having fun. I’m glad I got back into it this year.

Matt and Erica came for a visit, it was fun to see them.

There was probably more stuff going on recently but my short term memory and/or attention span is  limited at the moment so I will just say a quick hello for now.  But check back, I’ll visit more often!
