Hey,<\/p>\n

So it’s already the middle of December and tomorrow my temp job ends.<\/p>\n

Back to the grind of looking for work. I don’t feel too upset about the assignment ending because – well there are multiple reasons.<\/p>\n

1. There was little room to think. Example- You had to call a supervisor to get permission to change the simplest of things (a typo on a name, or email)..
\n2. The micromanagement was insane. Beyond reasonable. You logged into tracking codes when you were doing anything. Anything. Like: doing nothing, yep there’s a code for that. Seriously.
\n3. A low glass ceiling. For the people working at the company there was a low ceiling to work within. All jobs were phone based unless you were an executive.
\n4. The training – don’t even get me going on that one.
\n5. The biggest reason, more prevelant than all others? I think that overall it just wasn’t a good fit.<\/p>\n

I’ll look again for work. I have been even during this assignment. The temp agency I am working with is also going to help with looking for work with either long or even short term work. & believe me- Every little bit helps.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t all been bad. I have been able to recoup a little bit (since having been out if work) and my bank account definitely thanks me for that. Additionally things have been going smoothly at home & with the wife.<\/p>\n

I’ve been talking to my brother a bit more lately through text. It’s been nice to talk to him- even if its just through texting.<\/p>\n

Hmm what else? Oh, I’ve deactivated my Facebook. It has actually been really nice and on some levels liberating. I don’t feel like I am missing anything and I still have twitter if I need updates of any kind.<\/p>\n

Christmas is going to be here before we know it! I’m still waiting for my presents to be delivered so I can wrap em.<\/p>\n

We passed 12\/12\/12 two days ago. I took my lunch that day at 12:12 and 12 seconds. Haha fun times.<\/p>\n

Suppose the only other thing to note is that the extended family (Sky’s sisters family) have been going through some rough stuff. Keep them in your prayers. (God will know what I’m referencing when you pray, don’t worry). I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

It was raining yesterday! I like it- just wish it wouldn’t go away. \u2614<\/p>\n

Other than that… I don’t have a whole lot. Keep my family in your prayers as well if possible. It has been hard in certain ways as of late especially for my parents and all help works to His Glory.<\/p>\n

just Pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
