Bunk it all! I was going to use a blogging software but why bother. I could use a WYSIWYG software to help, but my excuse was that I wanted “clean code”. I really don’t feel like uploading any software components to my server or buying software for weblogging. Maybe I’ll try an open source one later. I have a few downloaded to test out. Until then I’m just using regular HTML and updating the pages when I get a chance. I could compose a Perl version or use a version by someone else. I am not even going to bother reading the Perl book I got out of the library to learn it. I’ll probably never get it any way. I couldn’t even find the time to learn C++ like I wanted to last year. Or PHP… or Visual Basic. Oh, well.
My whole life got side tracked by some sh*t crap job for the County my temp agency finally found me in September 2001. Property Assessment. It might have been because that year was the first major assessments and they were unprepared for the massive turn out of appeals, but this was THE single most trifling, unprofessional, unorganized, inconsiderate bunch of sh*t I have ever encountered in my entire life! If you ever hear about people wanting a City, County or State jobs. I never understood why anybody would want a job like that and try very, very hard to get a Federal or Goverment job. I would never down the gub-a-ment, but some of those who really, really want those jobs want to, as I call it, “SKATE” through life and have the “gub-a-ment” pay their way. I think that is really SICK. If you have a bunch of people who want a free ride throught life, thing tend to slack and quality and service take a downhill plunge and those people tend to keep down others in fear of loosing their cusioned life. SICK, sick, sick. *scream* God, I hated that place!
Everyday I prayed to Great Spirit & Kwan Yin for help. I didn’t give a rat’s ass about that place before I started, while I was there and still now today. At some points I would be drowning stacks of papers (stacks easily reaching to a pile 20″ high). I was filing, pulling, sorting, scheduling, rescheduling, attaching, mailing, statistic reports… That place was understaffed which meant everybody had to help just about everywhere and when they got more people and trained (well, so-called training) them. People were moved around in the middle of things, hired, some fired. That place adds ABSOLUTLY NOTHING new in the form of learning tasks or skills to my résumé Nothing… Nada… Zip. Zilch, goose egg, zero, nulla, ling/liHng, rei, soon, mee-`then, noll, si kitu… should I go on? I’ve go quite a few dictionaries on hand here.
I never want to see another appeals form ever again! NOTE: When you find your self physically punching and hitting yourself in the head and weeks after your head still hurts and have to take asprin or motrin everyday… it’s time to leave. Depression is a bad, bad thing. Not all the om-mani-padme-om’s in the world were even helping me, but I stuck in that job for about 9 months even though my intuition was telling me it was a bad idea for the start. I had no choice or options when I had started there. I even had trouble trying to code HTML (even the required first couple of lines of starting a page)! My computer all together mostly went neglected. I tried to keep reading books on it and CSS though. I use to really enjoy creating skins and trying to create objects for the PC game “The Sims”. Still now I don’t do much in the way of creating things let alone play the darn thing! I am starting to get back into HTML.
Since I hated that place from the start, I saved up quite a bit of money by eating a home brought lunches like: chopped portabella mushroom soup (mushrooms and water; sometimes with a slice of turkey lunch meat shredded in) or Fun Xi/Fen Si (mung bean thread) noodles. Cheap eats, Goodwill Thrift store clothes and stay home. Saved up for about 4 months (yep, time to find something soon!) of minimum payments. Some time to get my mind back together and to find some other job search method… or temp agency.
A while back I was watching NBC TV early on morning and seeing a woman on the Today Show. This makes me sick… Her deal was she was unemployed for 4 months and got backed up on her credit card bills. Big deal! I was unemployed for 3 years before my temp agency found me a job! She is begging people to donate money online to pay her way out of her bills. She’s at Bloomingdales and I’m at Goodwill (There’s nothing wrong with Goodwill and I would prefer it over Bloomingdales any day). She’s forking over $100 bucks for designer Prada shoes online. I get my Chinese “Mao” shoes online for about $6 sans shipping. I don’t want to link to her site so I’ll provide the anti that-annoying-leach-a$$-skank site.
