[QUOTE="vgm007"]Hey guys. Off of work today... feels weird, man.BranKetraHey. Is it because it's after Christmas and before New Year's? Nah, I'm just not really needed today. Being on an on-call basis sucks.

[QUOTE="chaoscougar1"]What have we all got planned for the New Years celebrations?DrPickle
Booze, smoke, and hibernate while being depressed alone
That or get drunk in a pub and pass out.
Hey I do the hibernate thing at least once a week! I'm like a bear of sorts[QUOTE="BranKetra"][QUOTE="vgm007"]Hey guys. Off of work today... feels weird, man.vgm007Hey. Is it because it's after Christmas and before New Year's? Nah, I'm just not really needed today. Being on an on-call basis sucks. It can. There are some jobs that depend on that kind of work, but it eventually pays off. Like selling insurance. An acquaintance of mine does that and he's doing well for himself.

I just don't like thinking whether or not I'll be needed one day or the next. Sometimes, I feel like the day is all mine, then I get a call from my boss. That ruins my day sometimes. I prefer a regular schedule.

[QUOTE="fastesttruck"][QUOTE="vgm007"] I tend not to look at it that way. Right now, I'm just waiting for a call back from the place that will likely hire me full-time.vgm007Tends to be something to look forward to. I'm also waiting on a phone call about a full time spot. Yeah. This will be in my educational field, too, so I'm really anxious about it. Did you go through an internship?
Yeah. This will be in my educational field, too, so I'm really anxious about it. Did you go through an internship? In the past, yes. That place ended up hiring me temporarily, but due to budget problems (New York state agency), they couldn't pay me more than three months. This is another state agency, but their job offering is permanent.[QUOTE="vgm007"][QUOTE="fastesttruck"] Tends to be something to look forward to.

Looks good on my resume, that's for sure. And given the number of applicants interviewed vs. the number of openings, I'm confident I'll get hired.

I had a train of thought but I lost it a while ago. you solemned me right out of it.

Just heard it. I like some Iron Maiden, so that's a plus.It was the first of their songs I heard and funnily enough I hated it then, but now they're one of my favorite bands.

The only song I really like from Iron Maiden is Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Aces High isn't bad.Please Log In to post.
