Hey. 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.

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.

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.

Yeah. This will be in my educational field, too, so I'm really anxious about it.

Yep. The job I will hopefully have soon is a Monday-Friday desk job, so that would make me happy because that's what I prefer.

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.

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.

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

I don't really like any song more than another, well the albums from the 90's really didn't please me much, but overall I can listen to any of them from start to finish.
