And now the Dinklemeyer:
This Dinkelmeyer continues the “Field Trip” story. The true field trip on which this was based did in fact have a journey through secluded woods for unclear reasons. However, I didn’t actually get lost on that one. But I was notorious throughout my young age for getting lost on field trips. I decided to base this one those less-than-memorable experiences. I think we’ve all been there at one point or another.
4-day weekend. How I envy you.
Ma and Pa are leaving Friday morning. At work, they're having an "optional working day" on Labor Day. You can show up for work, but you don't have to.
However, Monday is always my day off anyway, so it doesn't do me a lick of good.
He's a modern-day Henry VI. A pathetic child-ruler weakling who doesn't want to lead the country but is forced into it, all the while being controlled by the sinister powers behind the throne.
When Syria is liberated, I wonder if he'll be one of those liberated?
Would you believe I got my Assad epiphany from another political cartoon? :)
Heh heh, that would be funny. He can go back and open an optometry clinic.
Heh heh. The world's most famous optometrist.
Hmm...just a bit.
You there tonight?
Hola. Just got off the phone with mom. Worked late tonight.
I see this is becoming a bit of a trend.
How's ma doin'?
Ma's doing good. She wants us to come out to Nevada this weekend. We might do that, so I might not be freeping. I'm thinking of calling my agency tomorrow and giving them a complete update. I think I'm going to ask them to start looking for something else. I feel so burned out tonight, it's not even funny. I am still being given more things to do and I am ready to explode. Somethings gotta give here. I can't go from 0 to 150 in a couple weeks.
I have more to tell coming via PM shortly...
Oh! But this is the weekend I'll have the house all to myself! Now who am I going to talk to? I guess the dog will have to do. He's actually an excellent conversationalist.
Uh-oh. Already thinking that the job's not working out? Well, that's the advantage to agencies, I guess. At least they look for you.
Yeah, but you still gotta get off your a$$ and interview, and I am a terrible interviewer.
Judging from what I've read, I'd say the interview problems aren't on your end; they seem to be on the end of the interviewers. They don't tell you all the horror you're about to dive into!
They'll never divulge that. Companies would never get anyone to take the job. When we interview, we put up a certain desirable “image”, and they in turn create a certain desirable “image” about the job. Nothing about interviewing seems the slightest bit real anymore. Once you start your new job, it’s never ever like you imagined it. Am I right?
Hey, I’ve GOT to get a shower break in… bb in about 20 minutes. Talk amongst yourselves.
What's happenin', pcottraux?
I'm back.
Did ya miss me?!??!?!?!?!?!
I tried to talk to myself but I must not be in a talkative mood tonight.
