Rants and Rave Sept 2nd, 2012

There are from 2012...so far
 
Rants and Raves from the week of August 27th to Sept 2nd.

Jobs

Rant: A few weeks ago I was placed in a temp position at a wonderful company just a quick 20 minute commute from my apt that provided free fruit and greek yoghurt. The people were wonderful, the work was familiar. I came to realize that the woman who quit this position was doing a lot of busy work, very inefficiently. I was praised because I easily able to cut time down and eliminate duplicate work.

Rant: I did such a job showing them how to be efficient and eliminate time wasting they realized they didn’t need me. On Tuesday Aug 28th they let me go.

Rave: My supervisor said he’d give a great recommendation.

Rant: I’ve been having such trouble finding work, and I finally find a good position at a great company that paid well. Its like being presented with a porterhouse steak taking one bite having it torn away and replaced with a big mac. Its soul crushing.

Rave: I have a job interview set up for Tuesday.

Phone

Rant: My super evil, hates me and attempts to kill me in my sleep, straight for Satan cell phone, who would swallow a bottle of sleeping pills RIGHT when I needed it be there for me most, finally made good on its suicide threats. More than once I was left weeping after listening to a voice mail telling me I had a job offer and then spending 20 minutes pleading with my phone to turn on. Alas 10 days ago it beeped its final beep made a dignity free sashay into the afterlife of electronic devices.

So now jobless, I suddentlyt found myself needed a new phone. Cause they cost what 50 cents? 2 dollars?

Rave: Charity a girl who was really mean to me in high school has reconnected with me on Facebook and now she’s really nice to me. She sent me an old Verizon Smartphone she didn’t use anymore.

Rant: I’m a prepaid plan, so I couldn’t use. I had to buy a new phone and why wouldn’t I? I’m rolling in cash!

Rave: it was only $60. Not that it didn’t hurt me but it hurt me a lot less than the $170 I had to spent last time I had to buy a new phone.

sub Rave: I will be paying $23 less a month for phone service.

Mini Rave: maybe because all my friends are out of town for the Labor day weekend but I’ve FINALLY cleaned out my closet. My other goal? clean out my bookshelf and weed through my CD’s since I almost never listen to music.

One question. What to do with my old Playboys? Normally I put my magazines in the laundry room or donate them to ER’s. I can’ do that with my Playboys. Ideas?
