I think I have a job?

Well, turns out &%*#cote is biting. I'm supposedly starting next week. Turns out they're killing their Dearborn and Wixom facilities and consolidating them into the brand new Warren lab. The catch, if I'm starting next week, I'll likely be trained in Dearborn until all the torture rigs and laboratory apparati are installed in Warren. So I'll probably be going to bed at 9 P.M., getting up at 4 A.M., and going to work at likely 6:30 or 7:00 in Dearborn for 2 or three weeks. They didn't name wages, but I'm betting they're close to or above living. The benefits are ASTOUNDING for a non-degreed lab monkey job. 3 sick days and 2 personal days in the first year, more than CMFC! One year in, 2 WEEKS PAID VACATION!.. That alone screams $13+/hr. Best part, they'll be training me to do EVERYTHING. No more scraping my nose on the titanium hillbilly ceiling or getting butt-fucked with a sandpaper condom with rock salt lubricant by greedy management! This might just put the kibosh on my skilled-trades pipe-dreams for at least a year and might afford me a chance to articulate through WSU's Macomb satellite. Who knows? I hoard my money, I could probably shack up with one or two people and get on with my life. Now comes the shitty part, the waiting game... Keep it evil...

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
Might make it
One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones
Inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you

(Soundgarden: The Day I Tried to Live)

holy shit, that last job must have been something out of hell if you are calling 2 weeks paid vacation, 3 sick days and 2 personal days astounding. My job is mediocre at best but we have 10 sick days and yep, two weeks paid vacation. It never fails to astound me how these fucking assholes treat people.

...with this new job. I hope that it puts a smile on your face and you don't leave the place with a bloody asshole everyday!
