The Dilemma

I've been busy these past couple months, stressing over job hunting, depressed, lacking in friendship and realizing that I mostly have acquaintances.  But I've reflected and change my views on certain people and starting to get back on track to happiness.  During this time I was job hunting and finding a huge lack of jobs in my field, they either was people to do the work for free or prices so low that is is laughable.  I've tried looking at the gaming side but they only want people who have experience, that old catch 22 bull shit.  So as a result I have to look outside of my desire career path and into other work.

In my last post I mentioned I had a job interview that I felt bomb.  I didn't hear back from them after a week so I knew I didn't get the job.  So I looked else where and in mid May I accepted an offer for retail sales at a high end store.  It's only seasonal for there anniversary sale which last a month but with a possibility of staying on longer depending if they have room/ how well i do in sales.  So ok, not the best situation but at least it's something and maybe with room to move up depending on how well I do.

Here's the twist.  Two days ago I got a call from that company that I interviewed with over a month ago and didn't hear back, asking if I was still looking for work.  Long story short I went in for an interview yesterday for this company for the same position (turns out the person that got it originally was a referral and wasn't that computer savvy) and there is a good chance I may get this position.

Now I'm stuck with the dilemma of working retail for at least a month and maybe have the option to stay on or go to a different store.  Or do I quite before I start the retail job and go with this office job (if I get it...which I wont know until Monday).  Both have there pros and cons and I've been weighting them each and haven't reached a dissension yet.  I have given myself until Friday to decided what to do if I am given the job. 

Either way I have a job so I can pay my bills and buy a new computer soon.  I'll try to keep you little bots more up to date.  I'm usually active on twitter and instagram.  You can find those link on the left hand side.  See you soon little bots when I tell you what happens next.

Writing Cover Letters Suck!

I'm melting in my apartment. For the past three days it has been up in the 80's and if I use my stove or oven it feels like I'm living on the sun. The poor cats have taken to laying on the wood floors in front of the fans for comfort. When I know it is going to be warm, I stash some towels in the freezer and pull them out for the cats to lay on to stay cool.

Besides dyeing in the heat, it was Seafair week. That usually entails more tourists, cranky locals, more bums, Navy sailors out looking for some booty, and the Blue Angles flying over downtown. It's cool to hear them fly over until you have a cat in your lap and they scratch the hell out of you. I always try to avoid Seafair events to to the crowds and over priced inflation that happens when it comes around.

In between the Blue Angles flying practice, I was busy once again sending out my resume and writing cover letters. I don’t understand when a company ask for a cover letter but they never read them! You always hear how they either skim over it taking a total of 30 seconds or not even reading it at all! Worse yet if you are called in for an interview they ask you question which you have already answered in your cover letter that is sitting in front of them! Its all a big head ache and I question myself every time I write a cover letter.

Changing the subject from pure anger to joy, did you see the new Guardians of the Galaxy? Not going to say anything about the plot or anything other than GO SEE IT! You like Syfi, GO SEE IT! You like Marvel, GO SEE IT! You like comedy, GO SEE IT! You like an origin story that does not feel like an origin story, GO SEE IT! If you like action, GO SEE IT! You like shoot out and violence, GO SEE IT! You like seeing cute thing, you get the drill now GO SEE IT! It is such an enjoyable film I don’t recommend it for children under 13, but adults will get every joke and reference that they make in this film. Here is a cute spoiler gif from the film.

Thats it for my little bots, come back friday for some rant I will be doing I'm sure.
