...healthcare services, as a billing/payroll clerk. I think it went well. They want me to come back next week to sit in and meet the rest of the team.

It starts at $15/hr, possibly more because I have a degree. I'd be really pleased to get this job.

Tell the models you're in healthcare and need to give them breast exams.

That's a good call.

I doubt I'll be anywhere near any models.

I appreciate your faith in me. I don't have the job just yet, but hopefully I can show them that I'm the right guy, and get a professional career started. It's about time, right?

Despite the way I've phrased it (I was having fun), this is not at all related to the magazine. Maxim Healthcare Services was founded in 1988. Maxim Magazine in 1995.

I could, however, totally afford a subscription to Maxim if I did get the job. round two is tomorrow.

Hahah I imagined the position you applied to would entail going over insurance claims for STI testing and the like.

I've got another interview. It's tech support for a small local ISP. If I play my cards right, I could be on the phone all day with frustrated elderly people by the end of the year.

Hahaha. I did this for about a month or two once. The worst thing ever is trying to teach a senile senior citizen how to do anything on a computer that isn't related to playing Solitaire, checking Yahoo! Mail (they all use Yahoo! almost exclusively for whatever reason), or why their 1996 Gateway computer needs to be replaced with something from this century.

What's even worse is if you use Teamviewer for remote access to their computer and find the old coot's badly hidden CP folder.

Definitely not a boring job, but definitely one of the worst I've ever had.

PS: I'm judging that solely on the low pay and the fact that I have 0 patience whatsoever, especially when dealing with people that probably shouldn't be trying to use a computer in the first place.

I'll try!

This job seems more appropriate for me. I don't think it's anyone's dream job, but I'd be elated to have full time work and decent pay outside of retail.

I need it to convince people I'm an adult (but spend all my spare money on games and toys for myself).

I received a nice letter of rejection from the last job interview about a week after I saw the job listing reposted.

At the moment I'm vying for a promotion at my current job. It'd be $1.25 raise, more steady hours and less labor. If I don't get that, then this year fucking sucked for me. Aside from losing the last of my chubbiness and substantial improvements to my novel.

I'll see you cats in the future.

I'm at the same one because the new one would have been further away once I moved in with my girlfriend. I'd be doing Loss Prevention, which starts higher than my current wage.

I get a radio and a clipboard. I primarily just greet customers and take notes in loss prevention. They've had me doing it for the last few weeks as back up and training if I do get the promotion.

My sister currently has our oldest cat numa and one of the kittens- Izzy. The other two were adopted by neighbors. I currently have three different cats and a chihuahua to take care of. There's a fat cat whose afraid of everything but is lonely named Charlie, a hunter and drooler named Frankie, a possibly retarded cat named the professor and Tofu the tiny dog.

Awesome, sounds like all you need is the official go. How long have you been working there for now?

Whoa, how did you acquire those? What makes The Professor potentially retarded? Could you pleeeease send me some pictures? I'm ridiculously cat deprived and need to live vicariously.

three years, although the management team has changed three times as well, so it feels like less.

Charlie and Frankie are my girlfriend's mother's cats. She used to live in the house my girlfriend and I now share, and when she moved she left the cats. it was supposed to be temporary, but it's been a long time now. Tofu and the Professor are my girlfriend's pets.

The thing about the professor is that he acts like no other cat I've met. He can't tell the difference between the pet door and a window, so he occasionally will try to jump through a closed window. He pets himself against people and things, often doorways for letting him pass through them. He'll sleep in the same spot for days, and be completely fine. He has a tendency to sit silently and stare at the other cats, which drives them crazy. He's so bad at grooming, he's pretty much always covered in loose hair, and speaking of which, for some reason he grows short black hair with lots of long gray hairs mixed in. He doesn't know how to retract his claws, and sometimes he'll get stuck to things by accident. He's just a very special cat.

Do you have any pets of your own? or do you consider those yours too? I know Chad doesn't consider Peachtree and Jalapeno his but will occasionally say "our turtles" instead of "my girlfriend/Ale's turtles". That makes me happy for some silly reason.

Haha how old is he? He sounds like a kitten except for the sitting silently part. I've only met a couple cat with fur like that. It feels oddly cool. He sounds like a special cat! Do you clip his nails? That might help especially if he's not good at grooming and keeping them short himself.

Very cute cat! I love that you can make him wear hats!

I take care of them, but I can't forget that if we broke up, I wouldn't be getting custody of them. They're like stepchildren.

If that did happen, I'd get a dog. Tofu is so helpless, needy, and neurotic that he makes me feel better about myself. I'd go for something bigger though. I mean, I'd get one once I stopped being homeless.

That makes sense. If you got too attached that would suck. You can easily resent an ex but a cute fluffy creature not so much.

How much bigger? We had a Burmese Mountain Dog come into work on Saturday. Holy shit, it was big. Tofu's a cute name. I want a cat named Casserole, or something equally delicious.
Chad and I are thinking about moving to Oakland or thereabouts next year. If you end up homeless you got a couch floor to sleep on for a couple days.

Which is not to say I don't like them.

My brother Casey has a border collie; I was thinking a medium size dog like that. I need one that I have to time to take care of and exercise with, of course. I haven't actually looked into which breed I'd want because it hasn't been feasible.

I might come visit you guys, but my job is still here and I have a few family members I can burden first. Maybe after the holidays we can figure out something. My new position would give me more money for travel.

I'd be a sucker and get crazy attached. I don't have a very healthy relationship with fuzzy things.

Collies are awesome but their energy level would kill me. That's my issue with a lot of dogs I like, they're either working breeds or just incredibly energetic. Would you start off with a puppy or an adult?

YAY!

I need a dog that is energetic sometimes, and likes to sleep a lot. I'd be checking the pound or anywhere where my adoption might save a dog life. They're cheaper, and I can hold the fact that I saved them over their head their whole life.

I fell in love with several dogs when I worked at the shelter. Off the top of my head I remember Boomer and Logan. Both awesome dogs I wish I could have adopted for myself. The pound's the way to go! unless you absolutely need a puppy or a specialty breed. Exactly. I try to remind me turtles, especially when I shame them with costumes.
