Thursday, October 16, 2003 Take me down
This weekend the mate and I went down to the mountains of North Carolina. We ate figs and played connect four and climbed a mountain, and one day we went to an extra party (because we were already at a party, sort of, just by being down there). The extra party turned out to be a vegetarian potluck with a bluegrass theme. But I don't think anyone had publicized that before hand. I think that everyone just happened to bring their dulcimers and mandolins and tofu with peanut sauce, because, you know, what else would you bring to a party?
We stayed at my friend E's grandfather's cabin, which was built by Presbyterian missionaries in the 1940's. There were about 10 of us and everybody was nice. Very sincere, too. I'm serious, here. What a time. I hadn't met most of them before, and truthfully, I doubt I'll see many of them again, but boy! I needed that.
I think I'm going to quit my terrible job soon, even though the mate and I have been moved to the purple section of the call center, where only the most elite call agents are permitted to sit. The weekend made me realize that I haven't been too close to happy in a while, and while a steady diet of bluegrass and peanut sauce probably wouldn't do it for me in the long run, my life isn't structured so that oppourtunities for gentle fun come up too often.
In the meantime, that means looking for another job for real, so I'm busy bullying myself into avoiding applying for further shit work and looking for something semi-professional.
The first step: not sleeping all the time. The second: somehow acquiring an intern or two to help me with tedious things like resumes.
Now hiring, people. Now hiring.*
*The internship is an unpaid position. Preference will be giving to the attractive.
