The Bus

There's a long running joke in my family about public transportation, or more specifically public buses. Part of the joke is that mom enjoys taking the bus, the other part of the joke is the fact that they're buses. While there really isn't anything funny per se about buses, apparently we're not the only one's who think they're funny (not in a good way). There's a TV show called "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", and in a recent episode they featured a short bus segment where one of the characters has to ride the bus because her car blew up. For some reason the video isn't working right and has a green bar at the bottom of the screen, but you still get the gist of the it even with the green bar there.

Mom - this video is for you. :)

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

So after I called TCL yesterday I returned a call from one of the recruiters I've been talking to. He told me that another company (Transpower) wanted to offer me a contract position as a Project Server Support Analyst. It's a 6 month contract, and it pays over double what TCL pays. So why am I not extremely happy about this? It's not the job I want to do. In fact, in my opinion, it's not even a job that needs to be done! But that's just my thinking, and I'm sure I'll get over it (or be miserable for 6 months). I told them yes, and sometime in the next week I'll get the actual contract to sign. I'm not 100% sure what the role is, but as soon as I know and can explain it easily I will do so on here.

I apologize for yesterdays post. I was a bit angry due to TCL stringing me along for the last 4 weeks and not having anything for me, and I overreacted.

The Global Market Meltdown

Well fuck me.

I called TCL today, they're the company I've been waiting on an offer letter from for 4 weeks now. The offer letter is in the works (and has been for the entire 4 weeks), however they implemented a HIRING FREEZE, so the approval process is taking forever. Apparently the CEO is the last person to sign off on the offer / contract, and he hasn't done so yet. So where does that leave me? Fucked.

To top that off I have a recruiter who wants to offer me a position - a position I do not want at all. But at this point I'm broke and need some form of employment, so do I say fuck it and do the contract role, or do I wait for the job I want?

Ah the dilemmas...

I'll post more once I hear from the recruiter (we've been trading voicemails this morning). Hope all is well in the world...

It's been a while now...

I don't really have any updates...

But I do have pictures from Hawai'i that I never put up. Enjoy!
