rizzo:
congratulations!
valkyrie:
Agreed. 
Man, it takes forever to get hired by this fucking place.
But at least there's nothing bad to report.
I really hope I start soon, otherwise I'll have to cut out beer.

Great Odin's Beard!
I've been getting worried, because it was a week and a half ago that I interviewed with Frito-Lay. I'd left that interview with the understanding that they were interested in hiring me pending everything in their usual process. But when this much time has elapsed without hearing anything at all, I've been stressed out. I've been unemployed now for 7 weeks (which...

i work for a car parts company, testing their warehouse software so i was working in the warehouse to see the real world use....hauling around hub assembly's and brake rotors - it was pretty funny. toting chips sounds a little more fun....esp if oppps some fall out of the box

Yes, having a job, I am quickly learning, can be nice. I've been quite fortunate in terms of my own, really.
Not much going on right now. I've got this song stuck in my head. I guess it doesn't help that the Atlantis resort is bombarding me with their commercials.
pandara:
That song keeps getting stuck in my head too.
I'll be calling up Pepsi to tell them I'm not interested in the position they're offering. I could see perhaps taking a part-time position if (a) it had good benefits, and (b) there was a fair chance that it'd lead to a full-time position in a reasonable amount of time. Neither of those things is true regarding Pepsi, so I can't really see any advantage...

Yeah, I joined OKCupid, but that's been depressing more than anything. It usually goes something like this:
Step 1: I leave someone a message.
Step 2: I check my profile the next day, and see that they have looked at my profile.
Step 3: I check my inbox. No response.
Step 4: I look longingly at the number for that escort service.

Well, see you at a loading dock sometime.
Got an interview with Pepsico tomorrow. I'm confident that they'll hire me... but I'm less confident that I really want the job. I need to learn some details first. But the main disadvantage is that it's offered as a "part time" position. That's a bit rough. But it may simply be a situation where they'll let you work to your maximum DOT allowable hours... its...

Good luck.
Someone please tell Hillary she cannot buy herself the presidency. Oh yeah, and perhaps mention that she's already lost the race.
In other news, sorting through the hundreds (literally) of available job options is really tedious work. I've applied for quite a few, including some places that I probably would not accept an offer from. Frankly, with my level of experience and a clean license...

The trucks I drive are 35 foot trailers with a lift gate on the back. They have rollside trucks but those are all straight trucks that service vending machines and smaller accounts. Other coke zones use rollside tractor trailers, I saw one out in the albany area last year, but greenfield doesn't.
I wouldn't worry so much about hillary huring obama, I personally see the the election more as the democrats offering a ray of hope after the trainwreck of a republican administration that we've had.

Well good luck. Dealing with HR at monster corporations tends to be like that.
One positive thing about my job is that I've lost 13 pounds since I started, working long hours maybe eating a muffin.

My first "work day" since I came back from vacation. I'm still on my first cup of coffee and dressed only in my bathrobe. But I've already lined up a job interview for this afternoon and contacted a realty office about a couple of condos I am interested in buying. I'm just that fuckin' good. It's insanely easy to get a job in the trucking...

Thank you for your comment. Your words were what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it.

In other news, I have a new potential crush.
At least we'll see how things go when I return home.
Despite that whole last deal not working out the way I'd hoped... it did have the effect of waking me up. I think I said this before.
But new potential crush = good thing. And this time, she's a Rhode Island resident.

Mine too. I saw them when I was 12 in the same month I saw Duran Duran. I grew up outside of L.A. so I was exposed to a lot of music. I loved it though.
razorshimmy:
Nah, s'alright. Just needed to dump a little wah on the journal. One massage later, it's all better.
Also, congrats on the new crush.

So last night I went to a little party in Los Angeles. Mostly consisting mostly of Angela's gay friends. It was a fun and also interesting experience. Plus we had food, drank wine, and watched "Juno" outside on the wall with an awesome digital projector. Better than going to the movies, and I actually hadn't even seen "Juno" yet. Really enjoyed that too.
Awful lot...

Lesser men do tend to be intimidated by helicopters.
"Sideways" touring was outstanding. I spent hundreds on a dozen bottles of outstanding wine.
On Monday we're heading for Vegas. Then Wednesday night I'm taking a red-eye back to Providence and it'll be time to obtain a new job and get back to reality.
Angela has introduced me to "Dexter". Dammit... as if I needed another disturbingly brilliant addiction...

So today Angela and I are in Solvang, California where we'll be doing some winery touring & tasting. We've got a shuttle all arranged to remove any potential drinking and driving. Some spots from the movie "Sideways" will be on the itinerary. We'll actually be staying at the Windmill Inn tonight as well... same place Miles and Jack stayed on their trip. Tonight dinner will...

Ah, never knew that's why he disliked merlot. I read that merlot sales dropped something like 60% after the movie came out. People are total sheep. I really like merlot.
pandara:
Tell your sissy to spend as much time possible with her babe so that he bonds with her and not the machines. I know that may sound weird, but interestingly true. If she has some time have her read about Kangaroo Care and Dr. Niles Burgman. I saw him speak last year. He is amazing. He talks about the best incubator being mama's chest. Still with high level medical care of coarse. It is just that feeling love is the most healing thing. Also the mama's chest will warm up to the perfect temperature for the baby. and on and on.
Sending good wishes.
Wine country is wonderful.
