Don't wanna.

not to be too personal... but why are you a temp? and what sort of work do you do? how long has it been? etc... maybe we could collaborate??

I moved up to WA because I was stifled in the small town I was living in. Low paying jobs, bad luck with women. Some friends invited me up here to check it out. I loved it, so I moved here. Of course, he was in the military, so they moved a couple of months later. But I needed a job, so I took a temp position and I've been working them ever since. 1 was only about 3 months, 1 was ~9, etc. Been here for about 3 years now, but I'm moving back to CA to be with family and friends. Just not back to the small town, probably somewhere near L.A. The temp service I work for has offices there. It's convenient to temp, and I save up some money every time so when the job ends, I get a mini vacation. I should probably grow up someday and get a real job, but whatever.

If I ever get off my lazy @$$ and finish a project, we should. I'm doing a short, but we haven't written dialogue yet. And I'm going to be doing some work in Garage Band with a friend of my Sister. He's a musician (I sing). But hey, that's why I'll be near Hollywood... everybody wants to be a star.

So you're the one who puts out the light when the door closes?

LOL! Reminds me of something that happened a few years ago in Science class. The class was presenting our projects (worth a lot; we spent several months on them) and this one girl's was on the effect of light on Vitamin C content. Basically, she put different juices (orange juice, lemon juice, etc.) in either clear or opaque containers and put them in the fridge. Then she tested them for change in Vitamin C levels.

Halfway through her presentation, someone raises their hand and asks "You know the light turns off when you shut the door, right?"

Classic moment in my school career.

Back on topic, I do NOT want to work on my college apps right now. I want to eat and take a nap.

<snip>I had a dental appointment this AM too, but it was amazing... the traditional slow injection of anesthetic, then 2 minutes of drilling, a dab of something on a stick, and a minute with a light-curing 'flashlight' that looks like a glue gun but they hold up orange plastic shields to protect their eyes, and "That's it, it's all sealed up, you can go". Let's hear it for advanced light-curing polymers, gang.<snip>

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning, so tomorrow is going to start off nice and productive too Thankfully mine should be nothing like yours, mine is just a routine checkup so hopefully no surprises *fingers crossed*

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow afternoon, so at least I get to leave work early (and yes, I'm so sick of my job right now that even getting a filling sounds more pleasant than being at work).

I just watched Clockwatchers again. I know exactly how their characters feel. I dread going to work tomorrow. I am so going to quit soon.

Naw, I think it's the official "I hate this thread" job...

 

[dornoforpyros]

Hey that's still better than my job!

Some recent obervations from the office

"Everything in this office has one of two states, 'Urgent' or 'Pending', no in-between"

"I wish I could have gone to Ski School to learn graphic design"

"Making something look like **** is not an improvment!...If you could pass that long for me, that'd be great"

My dentist appointment, although a nice time delay from starting work, was horrible. My office must be employing temps or fresh out of college dental assistants. I thought I was going to need stitches the way she bludgeoned me!

That said, it's already nearly 930 and I just showed up, so it isn't all bad I guess
