My Baby

So I'm in love with my new baby.

She's white

Ultra sleek 13"

Intelligent

Portable

Companionable

and best of all, fast.

I've had her for all of 2 days and even though I didn't get to play with her much initially, I more than made up for it yesterday and today. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Her initials are M.A.C. *grins*

So as I sit here, I remember why I dislike blogging. It's not the creative (or in my case, lack of) aspect, it's trying to put down the jumble that is in my brain into something that makes sense. I've always disliked writing, far too often I get caught up in the mechanics (which are always incorrect) to allow any sort of enjoyment come through.

A few minutes ago the chime went off on my phone telling me that I had received a new piece of email. The enjoyment of that lasted all of 2 seconds. Do I care that RGIS is hiring again? This is the same company that I had to wait around 3 days to schedule an interview for, all the while they kept bombarding my inbox with letters saying that they want me to pick a time. That is all well and good, however maybe someone should have updated their website to show something for us to choose. There was only one slot open of course so I had no choice but the kicker is that it was 2 weeks down the road. What annoys me most in retrospect is that the interview was on a Monday however late Friday evening I received an email from their HR department saying that they didn't have any more job openings in my area. Jimminy Crickets. So I phoned them up early Monday morning to be told that yes, that is correct they are focusing on the people they've already hired and what's even worse, the lady I was supposed to have an interview with wouldn't even be in for several more days. The gentleman on the phone assured me that they would keep my information and let me know when to set up an interview if they were doing another round of hirings in the near future.

It will be interesting to see whether I do indeed get a phone call or email from them, however I'm not sure whether I'd want to work for a company with those business practises. I did fill in a job application online on Monday for Books A Million, so we shall see if I hear anything from them. With all of this free time on my hands, you would think that I would write some piece of software to just populate the same fields that I keep seeing on all of these application forms. I haven't quite gone that route, instead I have been keeping depression at bay by sticking my nose in whatever book I'm currently reading. That is keeping me grounded thus far, nothing like a good book to transport one elsewhere.
