It ought to be a lot higher than that, considering. At least, that's how it feels.

Been a shitty, shitty week. Fucking shitty. Straight up the ass fucking shitty.

So on top of everything else, I am right now effectively without work. I went in today, and as I was preparing to get down to business, I get informed that the company who accounted for some 60-odd something percent of our business, has the company putting surveys on hold as they see how this new internet surveying system goes. With it, they spend only cents per survey, versus the five bucks they pay our company per survey.

Since I came in today, I was lucky enough to be paid for today. But nothing tomorrow, possibly nothing next week. I call tomorrow to see if there's anything new.

There's currently a dentist survey going on right now that just started, which put a squeeze on my hours earlier this week if you'll recall. Sadly, they're full of people on that one, resulting in the aforementioned squeeze, so no room for me there.

That leaves the next radio contest calls that they're doing, which was a lesser priority until this hit. It could be after summer is finished before that one gets under way, though I'm not entirely clear if that was before or after this happened; whatever the case, it's stepped up in priority. The thing is, can I wait that long? Probably not. Just the few weeks between what I was doing now and the radio calls before it threw things pretty severely out of whack.

I swear, some days I feel like Midas, except I'm not a king, and everything I touch instead turns to crap. Things were finally turning around, at least enough that I thought I could slowly start digging my way back out of this hole we find ourselves in. And now this.

Fuckity fuck, fuck fuck fuck.

And I guess that $40 Primus and other such frivolities are out of the question.

Fuck.



...there we go. That's more like it.

I'm sorry to hear that... I know it's hard to think of frivolities now, but we'll still help you guys get to Otakon. I'll have to treat you to something nice!

I was talking to your wife last night, and I'm pulling to see if I can get you a job at the local brach of the company I work for. It may not be glamourous work, but I'm pretty sure you'd prefer some job stability, which this company can provide. I'm just looking to see what they have out your way in the way of positions you'd be qualified for.

anyway if you want to take a look at what is out there, I think we still post our job openings on www.cleanharbors.com
