AAARRRRGGGGGG

What the hell is wrong with companies these days?  I called my ISP, which is a local company, with a problem.  My connection keeps dropping at least once a day while I am either gaming or browsing the Internet.  So I called my ISP, which again is a local company, and after 5 minutes of surfing the menus I get someone to help me.  And who do I get?  Some person from India who can't speak English for shit.  I hate asking someone repeatedly what they just said.   I also hate explaining to someone a problem, and all they do to help me is read from a fucking script.  Just send someone over to fix my damn problem if all you can do is tell me to unplug my modem, after I just told you that I did that, and rebooted my computer.  No wonder I can't find a job.

Phone Call

I just got off of the phone with a guy who is in the same Bible study group I am, he is a manager at the local Ace Hardware franchise, and he wants me to come in Monday morning to talk about a job.  It's not my dream job, but it sure will ease things until I can get into something else.

Things may be looking up

Got an email from the VP of Operations at a company that I have applied to, he wants me to call him tomorrow to set up an interview time.  Things may be looking up.   Wish me luck.

A disturbing trend

I have noticed that some folks here are losing their jobs around the holidays, myself included.  The company that I was with has decided to close up shop leaving it's employees screwed this holiday season. This is not good, as I am sure the ones that have lost employment already know. Decent jobs are real hard to come by this time of the year, and mortgage companies, power companies, etc. don't want to hear that you have been laid off. They will tell you that they are sorry for your misfortune, and to an extent I appreciate that, but unfortunately it does not put cash into my checking account. My thoughts and prayers are with all of us that are in the same boat this holiday season. I hope that soon after the new year, if not before we all find something that will suffice, if not exceed our expectations.
