Finally!

So I quit my job. Yeah, I really quit my job. After 8 and a half months, I finally quit my job. It was one of those things on my "to-do list". I really don't have a to-do list, but I think I should; as a matter of fact, I should put that on my "to-do list". It would help things function more smoothly. Anyways, yeah...... I finally quit my job.

It should've happened a long time ago. Quitting my job, that is, it should've happened a long time ago. I planned on quitting my job right after I graduated. This was to take place sometime between christmas and new year's. But I didn't. I didn't quit my job right after I graduated. I should've quit my job, but as you know, I didn't. It must have had something to do with my lazyness. But here I was, well into the new year, and I didn't quite yet get around to quitting my job. But as you know now, I finally DID get around to quitting my job.

I figured, surely i'd find a job by now. And surely, I didn't. The point being, I should've found a job a long time ago. So, nearing the fall semester, I decided that there was no way I was going to deliver pizzas to students that were going to graduate out of college in 2010. That's a long time from now. So, as you found out earlier, I finally quit my job.

It's interesting how we are a creature of habit. I don't work alot of hours, so I guess I can't relate with the "grind" that is the 9 to five. But week in and week out, I worked the closing shifts on wednesday, thursday, and friday. I'd have four days off, and then three days on. It was a simple system. The good news was, of course, that I had a three-day workweek. The bad news was, of course, that I didn't have money to spend during my four days off. It was one of those 'catch-22' you often hear about.

But now that im done working that schedule, I have to find a new job to get adjusted to. Not working is great, not having money to spend anything on negates all of it. So, just as soon as I quit my job, or at least the day after I quit, I started looking for work. I've actually been looking for work for the past 8 months. I think I may have something at a couple of places, but they're both at least a week or two away from completion.

It has now been five days since I finally quit my job, and I have yet to find a new one. I'm not crazy. I did plan for this discrepancy. I can comfortably get through this month, and coast through most of next month before I have to start collecting money from a new employer. My ideal situation, however, is that I start work come this monday.

But as far as this week is concerned, im just going to sit back and enjoy it. I think I should just sit down and really enjoy the simple fact which this entire entry is dedicated to, and that is that I finally, after 8 and a half months, I finally quit my job!

Phone Sex and Cingular

Who the hell came up with the idea of "phone sex"? It's a pretty retarded idea, if you think about it. There's no actual sex, just talking about sex, as if merely making sounds translates to sex. It was probably a woman's idea; talking and fake moans seem to be right up their alley. But anyways, that's not what I wanted to talk about (I don't want to smut this bit with filth). You know how Cingular has these new commercials about how their reception is so much greater? Well, in case you don't know, to get their point across, they devise these interesting scenarios that usually involve the dropping of the not-so-important phone call by an inferior rival carrier. This usually happens right when the most interesting part of the phone call is uttered by the person they are speaking to. Most of the time, it's some girls talking about gossip, and who was seeing kissing with whom. Well, I thought it would be really funny if they had one that involved phone sex. It would go something like this.

"So I was sitting there, talking to my girlfriend. She just moved out of town, and it has been a real strain on our relationship. One day, I finally convinced her to engage in phone sex, you know, to bring us together. So everything was going great, but just as I was about to drop my pants, [in caption] MY CARRIER DROPS MY CALL!! .... my girlfriend, who was left embarassed on the other end, did not speak to me for months! So that's why I switched to Cingular. Since then, things have been going great between us. This weekend, we're planning on trying it again.Thank you Cingular!"
