If you haven't yet seen this summer's blockbuster sensation, I suggest you immediately do so.



But aside from that, I'm also planning to see The Dark Knight on Sunday.
pandara:
Just saw the Dark Night. It was amazing. It's a really long really action packed one. You will totally enjoy it.
pandara:
OH my god what are you trying to do to me. I watched like 10 minutes and it almost killed me. For real, it almost killed me. puke blackeyed tongue surreal

This job is not going to be easy. I'm already feeling sore from a couple of days, and I was pretty much just helping. It'll take a while to get used to all the actual labor involved. Having said that, the other drivers I've met so far all seem to be doing rather well. The guy I rode with on Tuesday said he's already made...

Wow, brutal hours. But I guess they're paying you. I hope it works out to your satisfaction.

Hey I just watched that Onion movie.

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
razorshimmy:
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.
dr_lizardo:
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...

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.
dr_lizardo:
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.
