Two Weeks' Notice
#5344428 - 02/27/06 08:03 AM (17 years, 10 months ago) |
|

I didn't hand it in - it was given to me, and there's no arguing it either. I have two weeks left here, working at Google's New York offices, two weeks I need to utilize to the fullest to find a new job. This temp agency shit is for the birds, frankly. I don't think I could handle some stuffy 1 week office job...it's time for some "direction" in my life.
I need a change of scenery - I need to be in a creative environment, a literary one preferably, so I'll be looking at publishing houses and magazines mainly.
Man, I fucking hate looking for works.

Good luck man, that sucks. At least you can look for work in the greatest city in the entire world. That's always a plus.

True. Though I tire of it a little...wouldn;t mind a change of scenery on a larger scale.
But my girlfriend and her roomie are gonna be moving to Spain or Argentina most likely..and if they do, I'll stay in the city rather than move myself, so I can reacquaint myself with it from a more singular perspective.

LA is the last major metropolis on earth I'd want to live in.
I need to live in a *city*...something with a center of gravity.

hah.. LA ain't that bad. It's a great place to relax. LA vs NY is like.. do you want to put up with fake ppl.. or ppl that are just assholes that scream curse words about your mother if you wait more than 1 second at a stop light to move your car. 
I'm an east coaster.. I know how it is.. :P

I stare at how tall buildings are in NYC. I'm so touristy, but I can't help but be humbled by the sheer size of them. Crazy city you got there

You'd have to be jaded to live in this city and not look up in wonder now and then.

I feel the same way. I gotta live in an area with skyscrapers or I feel like I'm in the boonies.

Everyone I know commutes to the city for work. It's not that bad of a ride, but I've only stepped foot in the city about 3 times.

That sucks robot, but really it's the perfect chance to look for something you like, every time I have to start a new job, I try something totally different.
