I had to go to a real-live movie studio to pick up my office credential. Not just any studio of which there are plenty around here, but one that lives in the heart of any kid no matter how old you are. I am fairly jaded about this kind of stuff most of the time, [...]
I accepted a job on Thursday afternoon. It was the most odd and amazing job hunt I’ve ever been on. It started pretty much like all the recent job hunts, except maybe a few more recruiter inquiries. Looking back, maybe a LOT more recruiter calls. My first in-person was all of three miles from my [...]
I now have 2 offers! I don’t think I have ever been in this position before. I still have an interview to go as of this writing. I have no idea how it’ll go, but it doesn’t matter because I have 2 offers. I will be relaxed and confident. Now all I have to do [...]
Today is a great day. I now have 1 official offer, another possibly on the way and an interview with the “mouse.” So it looks like I should be working by the first of June. It makes me feel extremely lucky. There are SO many people out of work right now and so many of [...]
It has now been a bit over two weeks into the job search. I really don’t know how I feel about how it’s coming. Every phone interview I’ve had with an actual employer rather than a recruiter has been followed by an in-person interview. That has to be positive, and I have now been to [...]
I really can’t complain and I’m not. This trip has been a major rollercoaster. I was told the news on Thursday and worked some on Friday and am now unemployed. I promised myself the weekend before I would update the resume and post my availability on the job boards. So I did that on Monday [...]
I am fighting to keep a positive attitude and to get this crappy feeling from my gut. I’m not motivated to ride, or go out and am actually rather successful at not sitting in my chair staring at the TV all day. But what I am getting done is surprising me. If you know me [...]
I know that thinking and typing this out will help, but it’s difficult. I was laid off again. This is the 2nd time in 2 years and the 3rd time I’ve left a job in 3 years. My switch to GOOD was voluntary, but I understand had I not left I would have been laid [...]
Thursday, 6:15AM November 26th, 2009 also Thanksgiving. A day in the US where many celebrate with food and family. That probably should be family and food. While my mom and dad are now gone and I have never been close to my brother and sister who are on the other side of the country anyway, [...]
Not so much when it happened but after. After I got to the office and when I got home that night. Oh and the next day, but mostly that night. Riding my bike onto the office on Monday morning I was cruising along Fountain Ave. up to the light at Normandie. The cars were in [...]
