Some Good News
 

After three weeks of no work from the temp agencies, and after not having a real job for a very long time, I got hired yesterday by a cell-phone tech-support company! I've had so many rejections over the last two years that I'm still in shock.

Of course I might get evicted before I actually get paid, and end up back in the homeless shelter, but I don't think that's going to happen; and even if it does it's only a minor setback now, and wouldn't last more than a month or two.

Anyway, it's good news for me, and before I know it I'll have my computer upgrades and be good for SH4 (and 5).

Woohoo!:sunny:

Congrats Mate! Ah the money shall flow now.

Congrats on your luck and new job:up:

You're actually doing better than me right now. I'm going to have to move to Chicago or Barstow, CA if I don't want to get laid off, and those moves may actually cost me a lot money in the end as junior railroad employees scramble from state to state to fill any open positions. On the bright side, if I go to Barstow, maybe I can pop in to say "hello" on the way:D

I've got an ex-gf who works for Sprint, btw. Used to be in sales and now she does tech support. I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the profession or industry.

Good to hear Steve. You've always struck as a very bright and capable person, glad things are finally shaping up for you.

PD

Woo hoo! What cell co if you don't mind me asking?

ACS (Associated Computer Systems) is the company I'll actually be working for. The Contractee is Verizon Wireless.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, while we were talking the interviewer said those three little words so dear to my heart: "ABSOLUTELY NO SELLING!"

Too funny. I lost my job about a month ago and guess who I have an interview with on Monday?

PD

Steve! Awesome to hear! I've actually got 2 months here till I'm out of the Marines... Looks like I'll be job searching as well...

And I've still got that extra Sub Sim Super CD you sent me years ago by the way. I've never forgotten about that.

Good news Steve glad to hear it ! :sunny:

You may live in my basement if you are evicted...

Be warned that it has spiders...

'Grats, Steve:up:Sounds like things are lookin' up:sunny:, 'specially the "absolutely no selling" part:D

@ PeriscopeDepth: That is funny. Maybe it's a conspiracy.

@ turnerg: Great to hear from you! Good to know you're alive and kickin'! You're young and strong, so a physical job should be easy to get (something I have more and more trouble doing these days), plus you'll have skills and maybe the GI Bill to help with education (something that expires ten years after the end of service, so don't do what I did and decide to go back to school just after the deadline:dead: ).

@ Stealth Hunter: Well, the place I'm living in has its fair share of mice, no heat is very old, so spiders might actually be a step up.:rotfl:

Just for you Steve :p
