I didn't want to waste their time or my time by giving me a job that I didn't want. They were appreciative of that. The only real opening they had that was suitable for my interest was a help desk analyst position, but the problem is I have one class this semester that interferes with the times they'd need me for the shift. I can take the class in the Spring semester however, so I have no problem with adjusting to put myself in a better company with better pay where I'll have room to grow.

They all seemed to think I was perfectly capable of working there, and my recommendation there was from the CIO of the company, which I don't imagine they'll take lightly.

Once I have a salary I can order stuff online and the sky becomes the limit.

The Chateau Jiahu sounds interesting. I did have the Dogfish Head Midas Touch, which was pretty interesting. Dogfish Head has so-so availability out here. You see their beer in stores sporadically, with the exception of their 60 Minute which is always in stock.

I started a 'real' job in May. It's only 2 days a week and it probably ends in December... but at least it pays well and it's what I've studied for.

2 weeks ago I got back from Norway, where I had a great vacation. Such an awesome country. Oh, except for the killings.

I have a job interview for an exciting advising position at an Illinois college...I'm excited but don't want to get too hopeful. Hopefully I'll be on. I already did well enough to pass the phone interview, the post-phone-interview application process (including a couple of online tests)...so I interpret that as a positive thing.

Also, SHITTY BEER TUESDAY:

http://notanotherbeerreview.blogspot...budweiser.html

Where I review shitty beer. Stay tuned, next week we go to Australia and throw down some kangaroo piss.

Hey guys! I got a job at Perry Ellis! They had an opening for a retail systems specialist and not only are they gonna be flexible with my hours, but they're gonna have me starting almost double what I make now!

I'm so glad I got the opportunity.

Considering how long I've been at this job I've had now, when I put in my two weeks notice we'll probably do a party at someone's place or something.

I'm giving my two weeks notice today. Commence slowly getting shit out of my desk and moving it home (if it's mine).

Congrats man. I feel like you were probably underpaid at your current job.

Yeah man. I told my boss and he was pretty happy for me. He's my bud so we talked numbers and stuff and he says that I'll be making close to what he does now, and that's without a degree.

I was severely underpaid, considering I could make 11 dollars serving drinks at a Starbucks. Mind you, the workload is different, but if I could consider that as an alternative to make more money, you know something's wrong with the job I'm at now.

It was a first day at a real job. I don't really know how else to put it.

There was the corporate orientation, I spent lunch with my supervisor, I got all my stuff setup...and then tomorrow I start shadowing. My internet access is pretty much limited to the corporate website and intranet...that's about it. Most everything is blocked, which I understand. It's just different after being able to do and see pretty much anything over the past four years.
