One of the articles on the CNN homepage that I read as I got to work was about a HS biology teacher and his battle to teach evolution in the face of creationists. Story. How can these people still allow themselves to be mired in that level of ignorance? How can you be insulted by the ideas of biological evolution? How insanely small minded can you be!!! Gah!! Then there's this shit. Ten Questions to Ask Your Biology Teacher About Evolution. Wow. I mean, wow. I can answear most of them in laymens terms, and I simply want to curb stomp the ass who wrote the book for his abuses of scienctific reasoning. I did find a pretty through responce to it here though.
Wow. Just, well, wow.

Work of a Sort at Least
Work of a sort at least
The lead though Kelly services didn't pan out, so they're on the hunt for me again, and I'm putting in a full week at the weekend job. As well as an extra four hours tonight. Midnight to Noon. I'll survive it and all, it's just sucky long is all. Ah well. It could be worse. This way I'm going to clock about 20 hours of OT for the next paycheck too...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Plans as they are is to set up with another temp service and look into some headhunters too. Might get lucky. I'll send out another slew of resume's too, not that it's done me much good. Maybe the law of averages will decided to work in my favor. Don't laugh. I see you laughing over there. Bastard. Meh.
In other news, Coyote Dread gave me a set of Baoding Balls. I'm practicing with my left hand. They're cool. The chimes in them are pleasant. I've wanted a set for a long time, and when Coyote heard that, gifted me the set he had just bought. Mad props to the Coyote. Thanks man, I really dig them. I'm even starting to do okay with the left hand.
This evening was nice though. Hung out at the Cybernetic Juggernaut's place. Watched a movie, had some good eats, hung out with friends, played some Katamari Demaci. Good times, good times.
Anyway, if you're looking for me this week, from Midnight till half past Eight in the AM, this is where I'll be... It's a good chance to wok on my fanfickery, catch up on my reading, and other such efforts (ah, who am I kidding, I'm going to spend most of it watching movies). So, ah, not all bad?

Frikafrak
So, it turns out one of the interviews was for a insurance sales company (I've walked away from better companies, and I walked away from that one too), and a door-to-door sales job. So, yeah, not a whole lot of luck with those.
On the plus side, a little bit of activity out of Kelly again. Hopefully something will come of it sooner than later.
Wish I could afford a bottle to hang out with for the evening. Oh well, probably for the best that I can't.

Fingers Crossed
So I have two job interviews on Monday. I've sent out my resume to something like 25 (maybe 30, I lost track really) business on Thursday and Friday. Let's see how this shit goes.

This is just getting fucking insane...
Okay, so I'm starting my third week without a job, and I'm god fucking damn getting sick of it. I've been sending out applications for all three weeks, I've had one interview through Kelly for another temp position that if nothing else will hopefully start up next week. I've had one other interview with Prudential Financial, but I don't really want to try my hand at the selling insurance/financial planning thing again. I'm going a little bonkers here. The lack of job is just incredibly frustrating. I'm beginning to wonder what sort of alternative work I could do (read knuckle-dragging), but I don't think I'm quite there yet.
I get it. Okay. Risks are bad. My luck doesn't hold to that sort of shit. Fine. I get it. No more rolling the dice with life. NYLIC was a bad plan. Fine. I know that now. I've learned my lesson, honest to god I've learned my lesson. Now, please, whoever can call of the mother fucking imp who's in charging of making my life difficult, please, just have him let some sort of steady work through. I'd really, really appreciate it. And I promise, I've learned my lesson already. I'm ready to sell out, let that chance slip through.
