Judging by the way I talked about my job in my last post, some of you might have assumed that it wouldn't last, right? Well, hopefully, it won't have to last much longer and I'm taking steps to try and put an end to it as quickly as possible ( Read more... )

Hey, yet another update in what is usually a very inactive blog! Is it coming out of hibernation? Or is this like the "foreshock" of a larger earthquake, a sign of potentially disastrous logorrhea ahead? Only time will tell... for now, read on, and hold out hope ( Read more... )

With any luck, my arduous job search in Portland will soon be coming to an end. Bank of America has offered me a job at one of their call centers and I can start training at the end of the month.

Typically, I'm supposed to wait until the fifth of the month for cake, presents and other birthday festivities but circumstance decided ( Read more... )

You may be wondering, as one of my MySpace friends put it, "How is Portland working out?" Well, I'm happy to say that the job hunting here went much better than it did in Bangor. I found a full-time job a couple of weeks ago with Auto Europe at their call center for car reservations. I'm furthermore happy to say that it lasted slightly longer ( Read more... )
