Finally. It’s with Oakstone Publishing and I couldn’t be more excited to be gainfully employed once again. The company “has become one of the foremost publishers of professional reference and continuing education materials for physicians, educators and human resource professionals.” I’ll be supporting the sales staff and helping field questions from professional clients. And getting a regular paycheck.

Been feeling kinda blah…
Man, being jobless sucks rocks. I feel utterly useless. On days that I don’t have an interview I feel like I should be doing something. Argh. Somebody has to call soon and hire me. Soon.
Thanks for listening,
Whiney-pants

Pounding the pavement yet again
So the temp job I had at Seek Publishing fell through and I am now back on the hunt for a job. I have a couple of promising leads but great googly-moogly this is frustrating.
Oh, and I have a new car. It’s a Mustang. I got it yesterday and I’ve already gotten laid three times because of it.

crazy week
So I finally got a job. Yay! It’s at a place called Seek Publishing. You know those greeting cards you can get at places like Cracker Barrel that tell you all about what was going on the year you were born? That’s the kind of thing Seek publishes. I’ll be fielding calls from our business customers regarding discrepancies in their shipments. Which is cool enough.
Also, I had a wreck yesterday. I was part of a 5 car pile-up on the interstate in early morning traffic. Nobody was hurt (my neck is a little sore, but it’s nothing really) but I’m pretty sure my car is totaled. I really loved that car. Oh well…
What I’m reading now:
The Warrior-Prophet, The Prince of Nothing, Book 2 by R. Scott Bakker – I’m really getting into this series. If you like the fantasy genre at all you really should hitch your star to this guy’s wagon. Great characters, very in-depth plotting, at-a-clip pacing, and no elves or fairies. Seriously, check it out.
The Star Fraction by Ken MacLeod – The first book in a Trotskyist science fiction epic. Socialist hero meets idealistic scientist working on scary memory drugs and goes on the run from an oppressive government. Oh, and there’s a libertarian Christian kid in it also. It’s chock-full of 4th Internationalist terms and stuff from Collectivism 101 but it’s really not bad at all so far. More exciting than I thought it would be actually.
