Jobes and Axolotls

Time for an update :smile: I just sent an e-mail to my father's friend (someone who I've always known as "Uncle Fred") asking if he could pass my lil resume around to his associates to see if any would be willing to hire me. After hounding the paper for weeks and weeks, and not finding anything I could do (or missing the opportunities on all the good jobs) I'm finally starting to look elsewhere. I tried to make the e-mail to Fred sound professional and friendly at the same time. I actually feel really hopeful about it, and I hope he can pull through for me. I'm dreading the idea of signing up with another employment agency, and just having a repeat of what happened at the last one. Or them telling me that if I'm not willing to answer phones, then they have nothing to offer me. It's probably impossible to skip college and get in the front of the line for office jobs... but it doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying anytime soon.

Sometimes I wish I could find the secret to making 10p an hour in DAoC and just live off selling that :P Temp constantly buys gold from someone for 10p at a time, and he makes his living doing just that. Course, that guy probably has 0 time to spend actually enjoying the game. Who knows, that might have just been his only option after the LA nerf... hehe.

I'll have to tend to my axies again today. Feed them, as well as change their water, and scrub their tanks. Maybe I'll be daring and try putting Kasey and Herbie together in the same water, and see what happens with them. I just have to be ready to scoop one of them out if I see them start to bite. While Kasey is somewhat used to being in a tank with another axolotl, Herbie hasn't been with others since she was a couple of weeks old... which is coming up on 2 years in February. Other than the guild ML raid tonight (which I'm really looking forward to) that'll be the extent of my excitement for the evening :P

Maybe I'll get lucky and hear back from Fred this evening as well.

    Refuse to answer phones?? how could you?! Man I wouldn’t care if it paid $1.00 p/h. Man…I’d LOVE to talk on thephone all day and get paid for it. Even if it is just saying “hello..i’ll transfer you there now”. hehehehe

    lol :) I’ve always been sorta ehh about the phone… heh, I know, I’m weird :) The one time I actually tried to control a switchboard phone (think that’s the right name for it?) I couldn’t understand people were saying cause I was so nervous. Wasn’t a volume thing, I was just trying to hard to do well it was actually impairing my hearing. My shyness strikes again. So since then I’ve tried to avoid receptionist jobs… I probably could have calmed down after a little while, and been able to take the calls just fine, but whose to say they won’t fire me before then :P
