Work Sucks

Irony, people! Can you dig it?

What really sucks is that my employer runs on a two week payment cycle, and I was hired at the beginning of the cycle. This means I have been working for two weeks already and we have just come to the end of the pay cycle... and administrative delays result in the actual payday being on the 5th!

That's right - two more weeks (about) before I get my first paycheck!!

Nothing like working for a month without pay...

JoyJob!

I have finally achieved the glory that is Gainful Employment!

I have been out of work for about six months, but that is all over now. My place of employment is actually the very same Library I was working in as a Student Worker. I technically took over the job of my old supervisor, even though the position is now part time...

Well it was part time when she started too, so maybe I'll be able to turn it back to full time.



And meanwhile ANYTHING is better than unemployment.

I am the LAW!!

...and as Shakespeare tells us; the law is an ass.

Last night I stayed up late (until about 11:00am) and therefore was asleep this afternoon when my friends called to see if we were going to game today. Because I was tired (read: sleeping) at the time and in kind of a funk over some recent issues with the game, (I seem to be running a different kind of game than my players want to play...) I wussed out and canceled the game.

I am a jerk.

I don't want to scrap this game as I have so many in the past, but I fear that we are not enjoying it as much as we should. And that is the reason we play these games in the first place; to have fun!

I am currently doing some soul searching about the direction I should be trying for and hopefully I can get myself back on track...

Out of time

I owe my first payment on my student loans near the end of this month. I am, however, still unemployed!

This sucks, as you may imagine. I also have credit card bills which are accruing interest as I sit here applying for one position after another...

In the realm of good news; I am going to have another interview this week. This one is at the Eastern Virginia Medical School. I would be working in their campus library. It sounds like a very similar job to the one I had whilst a student, therefore I am particularly confident. It only pays a little more than what I was recieving then, but it is a full time position, so that's good.

Here's hopping!
