Well, life has been a whirlwind lately...after losing my steady job, had an old friend from high school come crash with me and bring her car, temped around Lewisville and Swisher Road for a bit, and eventually found a very promising opportunity ( Read more... )

After a few weeks of being positively swamped, my department is actually completely caught up. I'll be able to walk into the lead's meeting tomorrow morning and state that, and it'll be somewhat of a challenge to not look smug as all hell when I say it.  We have a couple of new temps in and one of them is getting the hang of the job rather quickly ( Read more... )

Damn, so much has happened since I updated last. Where to begin...

WORK...One morning, a few days after my last post (ages ago it seems, they're so far between now) the production manager where I work approached me to discuss the possibility of a promotion in the near future. I stated that I'd be up for it, but not yet, since I still had a lot to ( Read more... )

For all those wondering why I haven't updated in a while...

This time, I've decided to break down the entry into somewhat more digestible bits for those who'd rather not bother with the whole thing. First off, a forwarded joke, since I decided it'd be better to post this as opposed to clogging everyone's inboxes with it...

SANTA CLAUSE: ( Read more... )

Well, if I had to be unemployed again, I think I know where in this world I'd like to be unemployed...

10 British pounds = 17.55 U.S. Dollars.

In light of this lurid little fact...what a deal...

On other topics...I didn't even know my job did Christmas bonuses.  How odd to go pluck cash at the ATM, see your balance and wonder why the hell your ( Read more... )

So, due to me here, vegging out on the computer, I COMPLETELY FORGOT that my Tango lesson was for tonight. There's no reason, just absolute absentmindedness on my part. I was here, on the computer, on IM, all evening, and it was 9PM before it even struck me that the tango lesson I'd been anticipating had just passed me by. Damn. Hopefully the ( Read more... )
