And it's been a while...

First blog of 2010. First blog in over 7 months, actually. What to discuss? A lot has happened since last we spoke - Tiger Woods, Haiti, me beating up an Aussie on Hogmonay (New Year's Eve). I'm still looking for full-time employment. I've been to a few interviews, even been offered a couple of positions, but I've turned them down based on my disregard for the company through first-hand experience (during/after the interview). Sales, cold-calling, 'marketing' - all bullshit. None of these industries are real. Both sides of the interaction are disinterested; it's just that one wants to make the sale and the other wants to get the fuck off the phone. I don't feel right committing to a job that I don't believe in, because I don't want an inevitable quitting session lingering at my desk. I want to be proud of what I do, and have fun doing it. This might be asking a bit much during the current climate, but one can dream. Until then I'll endure the snickers and the lack of cash, because I have great parents and friends who come to my aid without any sense of quid pro quo. I have people in my life who really help, and are selfless, though they may not recognize it in themselves.
