I don't know...I just don't know....
First off, I would like to start off this post by saying that I am officially discouraged by my "new" job. I got a call today from a woman that has been working on a project in Tampa for the past 5 months. She currently lives in NYC, but travels to Tampa on a weekly basis. She was explaining to me that she wanted to be moved off the project and how they needed someone like myself to fill the roll. She then goes on to explain how often times she is sitting around with nothing to do, but the company that she is working for just feels a strong need to have a "Business Analyst" on staff. So pretty much I was told that they are going to attempt to send me down to Tampa every week for an undisclosed period of time to sit around and do very little work. While the majority of working class Americans would probably love this, I am appalled and probably going to be looking for a new job pretty soon if I get stuck doing that. I think it's fucking miserable to be passed around for three months and when you finally do get put on something, it's half way around the country and there isn't even any work! Ugh... needless to say, my voice will be heard in this one. I've already told the girl that was trying to pawn off the situation on me that I'm not interested and that I am already stir crazy from not doing anything. I think that on Monday I will express my severe distaste for the possible position. We'll see how that one works out.
On a brighter note, I figured that I would share this rather disturbing video. Enjoy!
Freaking strange, right? I particularly am disturbed by the smoking bit at the end... just strange. Where did they find that little man?
Last night around 8, I got a call from one of the people in HR that needed help today at the Columbia University Career Fair, so naturally, I said that I would go and help out. It went through without incident and it was nice to finally be back up at Columbia and not feel that pit of hate welling up in my stomach. :) Nice, right?
Tomorrow is the Columbia homecoming tailgating....I mean football game. I'm guessing it's not going to be all that thrilling, but at least it's supposed to be nice weather. As of currently there aren't any set plans for what we're going to be doing after the game, but I'm sure it'll involve drinking some alcohol, so that'll be fun. Laura is planning on doing an LSAT this weekend, so we've gotta find a time where she can do it. Hopefully she'll just do it tomorrow morning so that we can go out boozing tomorrow night without her having to worry about taking a test. Speaking of tests, the other day I took a math section of an GMAT to see how I would do. Out of the 37 questions, I only got 23 right. At first I was shocked, and then I started to go over the ones that I missed, and realized that literally, all but three questions were missed because I was rushing through and didn't read closely enough. It was reassuring that I wasn't a complete and total moron. I think that with a little practice, I should do fairly well on the test, which is going to be necessary if I am going to be attempting to get into grad school at any point in my life.
Last night Laura and I headed down to Barcade for their Rouge Brewery Night. They had 20 different Rouge beers on tap. It was a good time getting to sample all the various brews. Unfortunately for me, something was up with my system and I felt so strange from the beer, and got drunk way faster than should have been humanly possible. Granted, I was stumbling drunk or anything, I had only had 4 beers, but I totally felt woozy. More strangeness in my life.
Mile time of the day: 7:21.... Yes. it’s crappy, but I was out drinking last night, on my feet all day, and there was a strong head-wind, so I have flock of excuses handy. We'll see how I can do tomorrow after an evening of sobriety.
The plan for the evening is a dinner over at Ryan and Fran's place. Fran just accepted a new job for a bunch more money, so she's probably happy as a clam right now. I don't think that Laura and I have hung out with those two in probably close to a month, which is strange considering how we hanging out together all summer long. Guess that's just the ebb and flow of friendship in the adult world.
