Yesterday was a day of highs and lows. I’m at the tail end of the temporary job I’ve been working at trying to squeeze out one more week of PC refreshes before filing for unemployment and it wasn’t going too well. I had one appointment on Monday, nothing yesterday, and I have one today with . . . → Read More: Riding the Job Search Roller-coaster.

As much as I hate to do this I’m once again standing here with my hat out hoping some of you folks have a couple of bucks you can toss in. I am currently employed doing PC refreshes for a chain of banks, but it only pays $13 an hour and will only last through . . . → Read More: The SEB Late Summer Fund Raising Drive is in swing! I’ve been a little quiet around here and I have two excuses for that. First, I started the new temp job on Tuesday and I’ve been finding my legs in what can only be described as an “interesting” work situation. In my 22 years of contract work this is the first time I’ve been handed . . . → Read More: We apologize for the brief interruption in programming. Not only is it already August but I’m 4 days into it without having posted anything. So here’s a traditional random crap post to fill the gap until I’m inspired to write something substantial. The good news is that starting next week I will be employed. The bad news is that it’ll be for . . . → Read More: Damn, is it August already? Sorry I haven’t posted much lately, but I’ve been getting ready for what is probably the shortest job of my career. I was contacted by one of my former contract houses about a three-day assignment which started yesterday. I’m helping a company unbox, test, and set up IV pumps for a local hospital. Yesterday was . . . → Read More: I am back to work, for at least three days. So here’s a quick update on what I’m doing. New semester starts today and I’ll finally be taking my Cisco classes, which was the whole point of going back to school. Two seven and a half week courses back to back so it’s going to move at a breakneck pace. Plus I get out of . . . → Read More: Not much to say at the moment… Normally I enjoy getting birthday cards because it’s a sign that someone thought of me and took the time an effort to find a card and put it in an envelope and deliver it to me.

We rotate shifts at work every so often and I’ve managed to go over a year without working the afternoon (4PM – 12:30AM) shift. The boss thought it was about time I took a turn on it and so I arranged to take day classes next semester and spent this past weekend shifting my sleep . . . → Read More: Moving to afternoon shift. Seems they’re coming to Michigan to do a news story on the transformation that the city of Detroit is going through. The show’s producer came across one of my entries about having a hard time finding work and how we were considering leaving Michigan, a discussion we just had again the other night, and dropped . . . → Read More: I’ve been contacted by German news show “MorgenMagazin.” This SEB mailbag entry is a little different from the norm as it comes from an SEB reader who we’ll call Dave and it is not a profane attempt at convincing me Jesus exists and loves me even though I’m a fucking idiot. Instead it asks a simple question about beards and employment. I thought . . . → Read More: SEB Mailbag: Atheist Beard edition. |
