Working In A Coal Mine
May 20th, 2010 - by Wylie

Work, it’s a funny thing. We need to do it in order to make money. We need money in order to get through our daily lives. People seem to not care to work, or when they have a job a lot of people take it for granted and don’t do a good job. Some people, like Teresa and I, like to do a good job at work. Teresa might not like working an actual full-time job yet, but I do. I like getting out of the house, collaborating on things, and having a final product to be proud of. Sure, the hours aren’t always the best, and some co-workers might not be my favorites, but that’s life. If Teresa has a different idea on work she can post it here, or in the comments…

We are both still looking for jobs where we can do good work and be proud. Teresa is looking all over the country, and nothing, bupkis. I have also been looking all over and also got bupkis. Well, that’s not true. I did get a job with some folks in Florida who give me several hours of work to do every month. I can’t survive on that, so I found a job at a local movie theater for minimum wage. That’s just pathetic for the amount of work I give them. I feel like I have gone over all of this so I will move on.

We are both still looking for work.

Teresa may have a lead on a job north of Austin, TX. She has had one interview with them, and has another one tomorrow. I am not sure if she has actually applied for the job though… It kind of came out of nowhere, the first interview did.

I have started looking all over the country for work. It has come to the point where we will move to wherever it is that one of us finds a job. I might have a lead on a job in Greenville, SC. We will see. I have a friend asking around for me and one of the companies he mentioned is looking for a Junior Developer. I can do that, very well indeed. I will need to bone up on my skills a little in case something comes of it.

That’s pretty much the new news. It ain’t much, but it’s what our lives have been filled with lately. A whole lot of searching for work and a whole lot of rejections. This is life I suppose.
