The blog that no-one needs to read

 
Well it's been a little teeny while since I posted...

Let's see now...

The church office let me go about two weeks before 3 months was up. Actually, they didn't so much let me go as wait until I left on a Friday and call the temp agency so they could tell me that it was my last day there.
Nice.

That was in... um... maybe March.

yeah, that sounds right. After that I got a spot in Dare Foods Cost Accounting department, through a different temp agency. (after two days stuffing packages for Xerox it was a super step up) I was supposed to work one day at Dare...
The cost department admired my work (and my snappy clothes) so much, they told me to come back a week after the following Monday (they were very busy that week and couldn't take the time to train anyone) for a day by day extension...

They kept me there for almost two months, and started talking about a Contract (notice the capitalization). hem, haw, hem, haw, we have to wait for this to happen, we have to get that organised,
so I took another job with the first agency. In purchasing (yuck)
That lasted a week, and the same damn thing happened!!! Go home early today, we don't have anything for you to do. Temp agency calls me and says "it's not a good fit"
I guess my round peg fits better at Dare. I called up Dare to say 'hey! hire me!' and Eileen, Cost department manager, was very happy to hear from me.

6 month contract! right to the end of November! (er... wait, that's not very good timing, what with Christmas and all, um) Oh well. better than no work. I would know.

I joined up with the Dare Bears slowpitch team, and we don't suck terribly.

Also I am playing pool every Tuesday in a league with my best friend, Eric. The way that works is you have a ranking (I'm a 3) which can be from 3 to 7. (2 to 7 for women) and you have a certain number of games to win to win the match. For example... I (a 3) play a 6, and I have to win 2 games by the time the 6 wins 5 games.
It's not as easy as it sounds.

BUT this past week I beat a 5 in 4 games, and last week I beat a 6 in 3 games!!!!
Broke his perfect record too. He left. poor sportsmanship, that.

anyway, it's actually been 7 (count 'em, seven) whole months since I last blogged, and it seems a lot easier to come up with stuff to say this way! I really don't know how my wife can post every day or two.

So maybe in another 6 or 7 months, I will post again!
