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.
