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.

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

My resume is quite random...everything I've done has been pretty different, and I definitely want to keep that trend alive. But I want my next job to have more to do with my long term goals, even if it's not a career per se.

have you tried using career building sites like monster and the like? Ive found some damn good jobs off of those sites, my resume has been up for 4 years now and i STIL get calls about it.
Another really great place to look for jobs is a college, most of the times small companies look to hire kids straight out of school or look for interns. Def something to consider.
Sucks you lost your job at google man, sounded like a nice plush job.

Yeah...I had a dream last night that Lucy and Eileen moved to ARgentina (they're planning on it) and I moved there a month and a half later because I felt lost.
But then when I got there, they had their own lives, and I was still lost.

If it makes you feel any better I've been lost for the last five years.
From my limited shroomery interaction with ya you seem to be one of those folk who defines the environment around them rather then be dictated how to feel by their surroundings.

Ideally.
But I've become withdrawn, passive, and inactive.
It hurts not to write, but I can't bring myself to do it either.

I'm not really surrounded by people who want to be creative cohorts...but at the same time, I know that I perhaps don't seek them out, and don't jump at chances to forge friendships with people that might want to team up on artistic endeavours.
And then another part of me entirely just wants to be alone with it all anyway.
I always think you and I could make some sweet movies dude, come visit the city for a week and we'll wing it. Just keep eating LSD and smoking pot and whip up something wobbly.
