The Scoop: Day 1

I went back to my job at Eats and Sweets today. How was it? Well, it was working with a bunch of girls, ages ranging from 15-20 while my boss ran out to run errands, leaving me to be the boss. That's how it was.

The work itself is easy - so easy after all these years that it's second nature. Literally, I cannot just stand around when I'm there. I'm always just idly doing something - it really brings out the OCD in me. I'm working tomorrow day shift, and then hopefully that'll just be IT. I'm interviewing with a temp agency in the city on Friday in the midst of spending a long weekend (Thurs-Sun) in New York.

It's nice to have pocket change, and like I said it's not even like I'm working because the tasks come so naturally to me. I guess I just want to have a job where I don't duck in the back when I think I see someone I graduated from high school with walking in.

In any case - temping. Yes, I am looking to start temping. Great. I figure it'll be a good way to get some experience on my resume that isn't an internship. As for lack of benefits, meh. I'm on my Dad's health plan until the end of the calendar year, so hopefully I'll have something more stable in the coming months. We'll see...We'll see.

Midnight Madness - A Personal Challenge

After taking a full 2 days to celebrate turning 22, I am back and bloggier than ever. Earlier this evening, I went to CVS and bought a packet of 25 manila envelopes. In about 20 minutes I shall go on my parents' computer (the one with the good printer), and armed with my linen resume/cover letter paper, I shall set out to write as many unique cover letters as possible. Once the cover letters are written, I hope to pair them appropriately with resumes, writing samples, etc. My goal is to send out the whole 25-pack's worth from the Post Office tomorrow. I think this self-induced kick in the ass comes from recently being conned to return to my job that I've had since I was 14 scooping ice cream. Excelsior!
