Well, one benefit to working retail. I've lost 27 pounds in the last 2 months thanks to sweating my ass off (quite literally) in the back room. Downside: I have to get my suits re-tailored. Oh well, at least it's a stepping stone.
We had a regional level guy from the marketing department come to take a look at the store since we were a new prototype. I stopped him and gave him an idea I had to promote cross-selling between the traditional market area and our new expanded produce section. He asked for my name and wanted me to send him an e-mail with the details.
He comes back a week later, and I run into him. After about a 2 minute convo, "So, you went to law school? Ever thought about going back?"
He then asked me interview type questions for about 10 minutes.
That was 2 weeks ago. Apparently, he pulled up my resume from the data bank, and requested an interview for me with the corporate HR person to work in the corporate marketing department.
Haven't heard anything yet, but I am optimistic. I might actually get to put my degree to some use. =P

Been a while, but I'm back. Working retail again, but in this economy, I am thankful that I have a job. As my Grandmother used to tell me, "It's only for a season love, It's only for a season."
So, besides that, I'm healthy and paying back my debts. Even though student loans are about 65% of my monthly take home pay, I'm eeking by. Just until I can get a better job.

Well, I am finally employed once again. It's back selling insurance, but hey, it's a job. Right about now, I need any income I can get my hands on. I mean sure, the sperm bank is nice (how often do they get 6'2" guys with deep sexy voice?), but still, a job is good.

Went to some of the local antique shops around here today, looking for some vintage razors.
I found these. Both are Gillette Super Speeds. The one on the left is a 1957, the one on the right is from 1965.

And the best part:

Normally they are $25 - $35+ on ebay.

First off, Merry Christmas.
Second, the past few hours have been all kinds of awesome. Been drinking, and I decided to look through all of my music. Saw an artist I haven't listened to in a while, so I added some tunes to my playlist.
Now, I am drinking whiskey and beer, and rocking out to Manowar, viking metal, and my cat is looking at me like I am damaged (well...more damaged).
Life is awesome.

So, I now have meaningful employment. Boo waking up at 1 am to go to work! Hooray income!
Only 2 months between posts. Not bad. =P
Hopefully within the next 2 months, I'll be working for the government. What can I say, it is a non-political job, but I get good pay and federal benefits. So, lets hope it works out! Being employed would be a nice change of pace!

So, much to do right about now. I've decided not to continue with law school. I don't think it's something that I'd be happy doing, and why get deeper in debt to realize the same thing?
So, I have a bunch of resumes floating about. One of my top picks, the CIA, has already asked for more material for the background check. The only thing I am worried about is the polygraph. I've taken one before. The problem is that my heart beats rather slow, so even if I am lying the answer comes up neutral. There's probably more to it, but yeah. =P
So, here's to hoping I get a job soon, since I pnly have enough savings to last 2 - 3 months!

So, George Carlin died this morning. I are the ultra bummed.
I saw him live about a year ago.

No more bombing brown people, no more 7 words you can't say on tv, no more 2 commandments, no more complaints or grievances, no more things that are similar between people.
George, you were an atheist. Rest in peace mate. :cry:
