YES, FINALLY!!!

Thu Jul 17, 2008, 2:52 PM
I might have a job! Or rather, I do have a job starting tomorrow that I got through a staffing agency (geez, I can't believe that actually worked this time... usually they give me diddley poo), and I'm hoping it turns out to go well.

I'm going to be doing clerical work for... er, well, Smith & Wesson. ^^; (Yes, Smith & Wesson actually has their headquarters here in Springfield. And it's across from the main mail processing facility. Make of all of that what you will.) There's something faintly ironic about someone who doesn't like guns working for S&W, but I really need a job...

In other news... augh, can't wait to get my hands on Spotlight: Hardhead. My inner Nightbeat fangirl can't stand the suspense... (well, more like, can't stand the suspense of finding out exactly how Furman's going to kick me where it hurts...)

Edit: Found out the job's not nearly as long-term as I thought... probably only a couple weeks. Dammit. Well, it's better than nothing, considering it's a decent pay rate.

I get to spend all day pasting status labels next to pistol serial numbers. Whee.

Yeah! Hope the job is interesting.
Congrats! I just found out about a possible 3-month data entry job today myself. Though I go back to school in September, so I don't know if they'll actually accept me or not. But hopefully I'll know soon.

Just remember the creed of the broke college student: "Sure it's degrading, but it's free/cheap/earns money!"

:XD: Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm not complaining that much... it sure as hell beats returning to retail! I still kinda wish I'd gotten hired by one of the healthcare/special care agencies that interviewed me, though. It'd feel really good to help out that sort of community-service kind of place. C'est la vie, I guess...

And, nice to hear about your own job! We'll all have money for cool stuff again! :XD:

Oi... Smith and Wesson. Well, I uld make a joke about spying on the enemy... But it is a good job, and honestly, guns are harmless.... it idiots who own guns and us them who are dangerous.

Still I understand the feeling

Sweet! Don't forget to update us on how it went (other than swell ;) ). :)
Ah, what would I give for a steady job... the problem is I get impatient and easily bored, doing the same stuff for longer term. ^^;

Imagination is the greatest tool.
Oh man - I thought that "YES, FINALLY!!!" meant that you'd finally watched Ghostbusters! ;)

Oh well...

Anyway, big congrats re. the new job! Regular pay-packet = more TF toys & comics for Jeysie :D
*does a series of catchy-chorus hand-claps for jeysie*

i also had no idea this would be about a job. congratulations ! especially with the job-market being what it is in the states, well done !

yo make some good points about retail too. while in college, i worked at a record store & a kmart. i've also worked at a video store as well as a borders. man, i am sure smith & wesson beats retail. and heck, i am no proponent of guns, but found myself selling shotguns and hunting licenses to locals while in ithaca. i worked in the sporting goods / toys department !

Unfortunately it's a really short-term job... sigh. But at least it's money.

And, I spent the first 6 years or so of my working career in retail because I couldn't get anything better, and man, I hated it. I mean, I like helping people, but I really hate how mean and snotty customers tend to be. I don't really care if people thank me or not, but getting rude treatment is another thing altogether. Plus the pay is terrible and the benefits non-existent.

Unfortunately, it's proving nigh impossible to get anything steady and better with a GED and no college degree. :( (Moral of the story, kids: stay in school!)

needless to say, the beast was stunned. Whip-crack went his Whoopy tail, and the beast was done. he asked us, "(snort) be you angels?" and we said, "Nay. we are but men." Rock!
