Hi, im oli and i'm bored too. I'd like to go to fractured to c my mate nam play for his birthday but ppl I don't want to c are going to be there.
Also, I'm really feeling pointless again. Been job hunting all week (hence my absence from here and other places) but nothings come up, no phone calls not even rejection ones.

Thanks Natty, dunno if I really feel like heading out at the moment...had my heart set on it too, went through this bitcharse long process, everything's cool...client likes me, recruiter likes me, just need to get this background check done. Get the call that says "Ooops, they're taking too long...sorry, can't help you...back to unemployment for you!" Ugh...I can understand rejection...no worries, which means I fucked up in an interview, or I'm just not qualified enough or whatever...but when you get your hopes up and everything looks to be okay, then you get kicked while you're on the ground for something that's completely out of your control...and you KNOW that things could have been made better if someone on the other end just pulled their finger out, then that pisses me off.gnat wrote:Zerotonine wrote:Fucking slow background checkers took too long.

This is my future for fuck's sake, I'm really pissed that they would fuck with it. Goddamn it, if they knew it was such a short timeframe in which to get the process done, then why didn't the recruitment agency plan better and make sure there was enough time to have it completed? Then the recruiter's being all sympathetic and shit..."This doesn't have to end the relationship between yourself and the client, there may be another opening in the very near future...or we can find you something else..."
Bullshit, it was a lovely salary considering what I used to be on, RDO's (which I've never had in my life), public holidays that mean something (That I haven't had in two years, at my last job, if you didn't work a public holiday, you still have to work 5 days that week), Monday-Friday...christ, I've had to work at least one weekend day for the most part for the past 4 goddamn years. I can handle fuck ups in my life if it's my doing, but when someone else does shit that I have no control over...fuck it...
I was almost there too...I put myself out there, worked hard and got a kick in the teeth. Maybe I will go to Rev and get pissed tonight, I don't know. Just feel abandoned or some shit. Like Fate is just toying with me. Or maybe it's God. Or Yahweh if you're Jewish. Shiva? Any chick with that many arms has got be stirring up trouble. Fuck.
Allons-y!

You want to work on the open seas - tax free american dollars!!! Met some guys once a few years back who flew choppers on tuna boats - they were making (no shit) over US$200000 a year tax free. Not much of an exsistence though, they were working on some korean boat (ie not much social interaction with other people) and basically played playstation all day.flippo wrote:otter board trawler, seiners and long-line deckies make an absolute fucken killing.
