I forgot to mention yesterday that it was my last day of work. It was nice, my boss was sad to see me go and I was sad to go. Coworkers dropped by throughout the day to wish me luck in the Peace Corps and to make sure I let them know how things are going. My boss wrote me a nice note in a card. But now I’m sitting in my bedroom at my … Continue reading
Fill me in on what I don’t know
Here’s some food for thought, I leave one month from today. Here’s what’s already been cooking; there’s a bunch of stuff I still have to do. Seriously. I don’t know what most of it is. Some people have been talking about a TEFL test but unless the directions are in my packet and I haven’t dug that far yet, I don’t know why I don’t know anything about it. Tomorrow I will start digging for … Continue reading
The grandiose life meant to stay grandiose
I was supposed to start a new job yesterday. But I didn’t. Today I went to the doctor for the last bit of medical attention needed before I can gain medical clearance for the Peace Corps. A little over a month ago I submitted my resume for a ‘Front End Web Developer’ position here in town. I had a phone interview before the Massachusetts Saga and it went quite well–I was told over the phone … Continue reading
A change of pace kind of week
I’m not even halfway done with the week and I know it’s been interesting. As you know, I’m planning on road-tripping to Massachusetts this weekend on my motorcycle. Much to my dismay, on Sunday I found that my carbs had frozen in a wide open position. This is bad unless I want to get to Massachusetts with all available speed. I don’t need that much speed. I spent the past two days working to make … Continue reading
We make our own
It seems like a lot of people are in limbo these days. Hardly anyone has a full time job even though everyone seems to need one. I’ve been looking, though my situation is complicated. First, I’m waiting to hear about the Peace Corps and I don’t know how to go about finding a job when I might be leaving in a few months. Also, I agreed to work for the summer at a part-time job … Continue reading
Grad
First softball game of the season was yesterday. We won. I came home with a decent cut from sliding into second. The girlfriend is home for the summer, and currently on an island with very limited communication. I worked on the Kawasaki this past weekend and it’s made some progress, but I’m still worried about getting it running well enough to ride it to someone who can work on it. I want to take it … Continue reading
Interviews and employment
My apologies, I just realized that I didn’t update the comic last night. I was in the homework mode until I went to bed. I will try to get one up tonight. To answer the question, “How did your interview go?” It went, okay. However, I find it hard to judge because I think I answered the questions well, but because the guy interviewing my was bad at conducting interviews I couldn’t tell. When I … Continue reading
His boring ass life
Alright, I know I said I would write a little a few days ago but I never got around to it. It isn’t that I have been busy, I just have been doing other things. I think I will start this one off with the first book review of the summer. My Boring Ass Life by Kevin Smith The title fits as Kevin Smith demonstrates in his online diary turned 470 page book. For the … Continue reading
