...in the classroom/simulation phase they actually did, however once we started taking live calls it felt like "fend for oneself" even though there were coaches available. Most of the time when I was dealing with serious issues I had difficulty resolving, they were off helping other people and by the time they got to me I had to try and come up with resolutions on my own or the caller gave up and disconnected.
I really feel disappointed as this was the first positive contact I had in fifteen months. This is how bad the job scene is where I live for someone of my age with my physical condition and lack of that "piece of paper" from some college. It seems all a lot of places want is some hipster kid from California with a BA or Masters degree.. Nobody cares about lifetime experience anymore.
You made an effort and gave it all your best shot and made a rational decision tho, that's all you can do :)
Real gloomy cold and moonless tonight with some dirty grey stormheads looming from the inky dark sky :)
Rainy, dreary, no coffee at home, calling cab to go in so I don't have to deal with the wind and such. :blank:
Rendering frame 170 of 300.. blargh..
Tomorrow I see the doctor about my shoulder and neck.
woes dreary cloudy brr brrr
coffee cup warming my hands
mayhem sale eeks, banks are closed for columbus day?
i need to save my next couple paycheques for a new stove, i wantz one of those even flat topped jobbers
I don't see a frying pan in the promos or in the list of what's included.

This is what I see
Must be a surprise bonus. But it has nothing to do with the dress...very odd.
Dana
Didn't the same PA do some bundles of diner food? Maybe it just got into the wrong product. Nice bonus surprise though.
Blech, my fave cab company here in Tulsa, Green Cab, got sold to Yellow Cab and 1/2 the drivers are out of a job. :down: Thankfully one of my regular drivers is still around. :coolsmile:
Complaint: Paypal hasn't taken my Daz order out of my account so I can't use the extra money I see until I'm 110% certain everything has cleared. Then I'm buying that bamboo pour-over coffee maker! :cheese:
Time for a new laptop. Mine is pretty old, and while it's rock-solid it's showing it's age when I run newer programs on it. Time to save dollars up for a nice 3D-ready laptop.. :blank: cut back on going out, have my beer at home, don't go out but maybe every other week.. Oh Well. It was inevitable. :long:
I'll keep the old lappy for music production, and put all my 3D stuff on the new one. This will chew up more desk space, but I have it - even for a lappy with a 17in screen (which I want).
Maybe I'll finally be able to run Vue 11! :coolsmile:

...thank you. I really do need something that fits more with my basic skillset.
...bugger forgot about Columbus day. Was going to go to my branch and talk to the manager myself about getting the three remaining overdraft charges removed. Since the head office saw fit to credit two of them (which means I have a valid case) I don't understand why all five could not be dropped.
At least the transit system is running buses on regular schedules instead of weekend ones like they usually do for these "pseudo holidays".
Well, off to the workplace for my last day.
@KK - ugh. I hope things get better for you. :down: :down:
On a happier note - thanks for the Seattle Coffee Gear recommendation! Just ordered a nice bamboo Melitta pour-over, a pile of filters, a nice cup, and some fancy coffee. Only need to get cream from the local stop-and-shop and I'll be having tasty coffee right at home! :coolsmile:
Next up finding a place that sells decent ground coffee here. :blank: I did order as bag of Veltons Twilight Blend dark roast from SCG to start me off, but that stuff is NOT CHEAP :bug: and I want to save it for special occasions. :)
No more big purchases until the new laptop.... oh woe is meeeeeeeeeee..
...yeah I'm OK. Been through tough decisions before. Not every job will be a good fit and I had apprehensions before even applying but thought heck give it a try see how it goes. Just glad I discovered this early on.
Things are easing up out here a bit more, so hopefully I'll find something more fitting for my skills and type of person I am. Again at least I'll have a fairly good cushion for a bit to work with. If they cut my final cheque today, I'll just cash it at the market then deposit the funds tomorrow hne IO go in to talk to the branch manager.
Well gotta get moving as I have to pick up a day pass at the corner market here so I can get on the bus since the transit system doesn't take debit cards (yet).
Blech, well, hang in there! I'll be cheering for you! :coolsmile:
Found the laptop I want.. it's $1600. :blank: Going to be a lllooonnggg wait for that.. :blank:
Leftover assorted veggies in garlic sauce for lunch..sooooo tasty! :cheese: Very spicy though. :bug:
Looks like my coffee gear might ship tomorrow! Could arrive by Friday, that would rock! :coolsmile: Thanks again KK! :)
Sweat, munch, sweat, munch.. no wonder people think I'm crazy to eat this stuff..
I am at the library and I have to watch the time to know when to go home.
ohh headache. sat outside a couple hours. tut tut looks like rain.
Bloody stupid pouring rain outside. Still hungry after veggie lunch. Feeling cranky. :blank:
Wanna go home, stuck here for another hour and a half, feh.
I've decided I'm hitting the bar on the way home, it's only about 50 yards from my hotel so my umbrella will suffice nicely. :)
No point in getting on to the computer to do much since it's STILL RENDERING! Need to work lots of 40 hour weeks so I can get a new laptop ASAP. Good thing I'll be working here through January, will be ale to save up for a laptop AND bank some of a possible job search once this puppy ships.
...that's about how much it cost me to build my workstation (including the cost of the new display after the old one frotzed on me).
As prices have been going (particularly for memory), If I applied the same amount of money to building it today, it would probably have 64G in Quad channel mode and a 3.0+ gH'z 8 thread CPU (12 threads if I went with AMD). I already have the twin ATI GPUs with 3 GB VRAM each for a total of 6GB in OpenGL/CL mode, so much for a sluggish viewport.
Morning. Should-have-stayed-in-bed gloomy grey everywhere you look today, pale morning sun offering no relief at all from a shivery cold south wind
oh ouch hopes that is gone by now :)
ready for an early nite lights out
I am using the term Lavatory in my story. My Rapunzel just got a new friend who needs a lavatory box (aka litter box)
Well, it was a long holiday afternoon and early evening, shopping with Diane. It doesn't look like I missed much in here...a headache, sweaty munchies, and a cold start to the day...and a lavatory. Yup, slow day in here.
Dana
Aww, good morning! :coolsmile:
...another goofy giverment and bank holiday. That's the kind of job I need. All those extra paid holidays most working folk never get.
...another goofy giverment and bank holiday. That's the kind of job I need. All those extra paid holidays most working folk never get.
When I worked for COMDEX/Key3Media Events, I got most of them, and also had a couple of discretionary holidays that I could take, plus a handful of personal days which, if not used, would roll over into vacation days the following year. Plus I had three weeks paid vacation, six sick days, and two weeks paid...ummm, I forgot what it's called, take it to refresh...Oh! sabbatical, every seven years I think it was. I fell short of it by a few months. I've said it before, it was the best job I ever had. :down:
Dana
Bit of a dog day here, everything going soo slooow iz like swimming in treacle :lol:
Aww, good morning! :coolsmile:
Stormy weather here right now, hot sun and ice - typical Melbourne spring :lol:
Frame 248 rendering.. and bedtime.
I need a week off, this job is freaking insane.
Probably to need to consider settling down, getting married..
OMG KILL ME NOW :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh:
The monsoon season has come to Tennessee.
Iz clearing here a little after sunset, first cloudless sky for a week or so, kinda murky cerulean and darkening by the minute :)
