July 31st.<\/p>\n
It’s almost August.\u00a0 In fact in just a few hours it will be August.\u00a0 I think it is kinda crazy.<\/p>\n
So I have this new laptop that I have from Dell.\u00a0 Up until tonight I had no complaints on it.\u00a0 Tonight I seem to be getting a little bit of lag when I type and delete something.\u00a0 It is kind of annoying… and I’m not sure why it’s happening.\u00a0 Hmm.. well moving on<\/p>\n
Lets update all of the job news.\u00a0 There is a bit of information that I’d like to share.<\/p>\n
First is the update on the job that one of my old co-workers was helping me with.\u00a0 It still seems like it could be a real possibility in the future.\u00a0 I’m not sure how much of a difference that job would make now as it is very part time – but if you look at the big picture then you can see the potential.\u00a0 It has a huge upside.\u00a0 Truth be told.. that upside is the reason I spent the money I didn’t have on getting a laptop.<\/p>\n
What else… hmmm….<\/p>\n
I’ve applied at all sorts of places lately.\u00a0 Most of those have been call centers as most other jobs won’t even contact you back.\u00a0 I applied at US Airways as a reservations agent and with Stream as an Apple support technician.\u00a0 They both were on the same week and as chance may have it they both offered me the position.\u00a0 It was either take it or leave it – on the spot for both of them.\u00a0 So, what did I do?\u00a0 Naturally.. I accepted both.\u00a0 No, I can’t work both – but neither start until September so I have some time to decide.\u00a0 I also have a pending job offer with Sears (yes, that job that I had for almost 3 years) and seeing as how it pays the highest of any of the jobs that I applied for – It would be my first choice (out of the three).\u00a0 I know what you might be thinking.\u00a0 I won’t like any of them… but from my point of view if I was given the chance to work at Sears again I’d take it as the lesser of the two other evils.<\/p>\n
I have and will continue to apply at other various jobs.\u00a0 The pay is always something that is brought into consideration.\u00a0 A job will always ask you if the pay makes a difference, but in the end-\u00a0 if you didn’t receive a check at the end of the week then you probably wouldn’t be working that job.\u00a0 This is the case most of the time, not all of the time.\u00a0 Some people really love their job and wouldn’t trade it.\u00a0 I understand that.\u00a0 It makes sense to me, but call center work is not my dream job.\u00a0 Not even close.\u00a0 If I am blessed enough to have a job (yes, even a call center job) at this point with how the economy keeps tanking then I’ll feel rather fortunate.<\/p>\n
Sears was a good employer to work for, so I really wouldn’t have much too much to complain about.\u00a0 I mean, let me jog your memory for a minute.\u00a0 If you remember at the time that I left Sears in 2005 I was given an offer to step up into management.\u00a0 I declined and returned to school (Cascade).\u00a0 But I have to admit… that was kinda cool and made me feel somewhat appreciated.<\/p>\n
There isn’t an update for a job for Sky other than a photo shoot she might land with some company.\u00a0 She quit the photography job as she would have had to buy a car and drive some 33 miles each way for a job that paid rather low given the kind of commitment she would have to make to the place.<\/p>\n
What else…?\u00a0 The NBA is still locked out but the NFL has a new agreement and will resume as normal.\u00a0 The final Harry Potter came out what– 2 weeks ago?\u00a0 Something like that.\u00a0 It was good.\u00a0 I liked the whole series.. probably one of (if not the best) made series I’ve seen.\u00a0 From the movies to the way it was managed.\u00a0 As for the final movie?\u00a0 I can’t complain too much without giving parts away to those who haven’t seen it… so I’ll refrain.\u00a0 I’d give it 8 out of 10.<\/p>\n
I think that’s all I have.<\/p>\n
There was a thunderstorm tonight and I posted a picture of the dust rolling in via facebook.\u00a0 It’s raining a little outside right now and there is a chance for rain in the beginning of the week.<\/p>\n
