you know.. the usual... the universe collapsed in on itself and got rebuild at the same moment. So we didn't notice..

except that GWG was off for a bit...

but some people claim that's because of aliens

...

the usual.

That reminds me of Arbel, Knido. I miss Arbel.



Anyway, I decided not to take the job. I can't work a consistent 50 to 60 hours a week for so little reward, especially if this is a job I've never tried before. It would be another story if I had some experience in this area and knew I would really love it or have some really good benefits. The good news is, they are a recruiting agency, so I am still on their list of potential placements.

Mostly laboratory work and environmental consulting. I have my degree in chemical engineering, but I never got my certifications (stupid, I know now). This position was for a scientific/technical recruiting agency. They were looking for someone with a technical background to train as a new recruiter.

I am incredibly nervous. All-City honor band tryouts are today. It is incredibly hard to get into... I'm fairly competetive.

Gah! They gave me a 7:30pm tryout time too, so I have to wait all of this time from when I got home from school to when I have to go try out. Ahhhhhh.

Well, band was plenty interesting when you got to play first chair on one of the instruments that had the melody as opposed to an instrument that was left with the harmony. My experience at least.

Man, I feel so stupid right now. I thought I was supposed to go in to my job tonight to go for training, and I was supposed to receive a call as to what time. Well, I got no call so I didn't know what exactly to do, so I called the guy who is hiring me. Turns out he didn't say Tuesday night, it was Thursday morning. I hate when I hear incorrectly. I think I'm getting deaf slowly, and its making me look incompetent.

It's job week here at the Off-Topic Forum...

Think of it this way Epic,
Maybe it was a test, to see what you would do.
Other than that, I don't know any other recruiting tricks and stuff.

Or you just didn't hear correctly.

Don't worry about it. Look at it this way: you showed responsibility and interest in the job by checking ahead. You could have just not gone because they didn't call you. It's always best to ask if you aren't sure of something.

I'll go with not hearing correctly, I have bad hearing. It sucks since it really seems to kick in when it could be most problematic.

Yeah, I used to like band. But I stopped when I hit high school, and I was pretty good too. I probably couldn't do as well anymore with my hearing trending downward. I could see myself legally deaf in my right ear (the problematic one) in a couple of years.

Anyways, I am starting to play bass guitar now. Only know a very limited bit, but I am in the process of learning.

Oh yeah, and congrats dan.
