The Lone Ranger Rides Again!

So, I ran across a tidbit on Wikipedia that seems to imply that there's going to be a Lone Ranger Movie comming out in 2010! How fucking cool is that?? I guess Johnny Depp is slated to play Tonto! IMDB has nothing on it yet, but I'm going to ride the fanboy glee for a bit on this one!

The Lone Ranger Rides Again!!

Weeks keep slipping by me

So, this week has been a bit more down than up. I'm hoping for better next week though.

I had two job interviews this week. Both of which I feel went well. I'm really hoping I get the job I interviewed for on Monday I really want. Not just in that "wow, a full time job, that'd be awesome" kinda way, but in a "wow, I think I'd really like that job" kinda way. The interview on Thursday is for a temp position, but they're big on the temp to hire thing. Which would also be okay. Solid work would be nice at this point.

I had some hours this week. Worked on Tuesday, Wednesday, and half of Thursday at EcoLab in their production facility. It was okay. Had to spring for a pair of steel toes though. That sucked. Only reason I had the money for it was that I sold a big chunk of my D&D mini's (about 750 or so figures. Kept maybe a 100 or so to use for gaming, and two warbands in case a game ever comes up). I even sold my Drizzit. The only collectable item that's come through my hands that's actually been worth anything. Oh well, I never liked Drizzit anyway, and he kinda sucked in the game. Fuck it, it was just shit taking up space, I just wish I'd have had the time to sell it on Ebay, and not to Cliff's, where I only saw a third of what I could have got. However, I really did need the money right then and there.

Anyway, EcoLab, they kinda played me temp to fire. I was supposed to get work through Friday. However, it just so happens on the day I need to take half off (since I was guaranted that time off for job interviews when I took the post), I was informed that they wouldn't need me on Friday. Huh. Fuck 'em I guess. Didn't get much more then a shit-ton of paper cuts from that place anyway.

Also on the temp front, I was informed that Thomson-Reuters called Kelly Services to tell them how great of an employee I am. I guess I did three weeks worth of work in three days, then more, and had a great attitude the whole time. Aparently they almost never call in with feedback, good or bad, so this compliment is all but unpresidented. Go me! (And yet, I can't seem to find a job... go figure, huh?)

In other news, Cosmics (the coffee house that has employed my roommate for the past 6 years), closed on Monday. I guess they were having money troubles. However, they reopend on Thursday. No one is sure how long that will last mind you, but there it is.

Not a whole lot else to report though. Waiting for next week, when hopefully something will happen. Hopefully.

Temp to fire...

I did it again. I worked my way right out of a day and a half of pay. That's right, I worked so hard, and was so damn fast with it, that I finished ahead of schedule, and lost about a day and a half of pay. How 'bout them apples.

Temp to fire.

So, now, here I am, coming up on another week without a job. Luckily, I have an interview on Monday for a real job. Office work, but as long as they pay a decent amount, I don't care. And maybe if that doesn't work out, a life of crime? Or politics. I don't know which would make me feel more disgusted with myself. Anyway, wish me luck on the job interview. This one is even lagit, no crappy door to door sales work or trying to break into the insurance market again. Just normal, steady work. Work I won't be dumb enough to gamble away this time. God I hope I get this one...
