ruffe--In brief, short term out look is great but long term is still variable and could easily take a turn for the worse--
Well, I found a job with an Environmental Testing Company about a half hour away. It's a very easy commute for a reason I'll be bringing up in a second. There's only two things that suck about it. My shift starts at 4 AM (meaning I'm getting up at 2:30 AM for work) but I do get off at 12:30 PM which is very nice *woof ^^*. The off hours also add an extra bonus as I'm on I-95 when others aren't (it takes me like 1 minute to get onto I-95 around Providence place, and those around this area know what a hell hole of traffic that can be >>).
The second thing that sucks about it is that it is only temporary. The company I'm working for is working on samples from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that happened in the Gulf almost a year ago. So my job consists of prepping those samples for analysis (seems like I'm mostly going to be working with all sorts of muds from sediments). From what I can tell, unless things change, when those work orders stop coming in, I'll mostly likely be out of a job again. I'm ok with this though as the company was upfront that they saw this position as only a temporary one. Just also sucks cause I've really enjoyed my time at this job (even though it's only been a week). So in a couple weeks, I'll keep on searching for steady job as I can't just hang my financial stability on a hope that a permanent job will open up.
So I'm doing a lot better as I'm getting out for 8.5 hours each day (which is a nice change) and I'm a little more financial secure then I was a few weeks ago. Just have to tighten up the belt till I get my first paycheck (which doesn't happen till the 15th. Luckily I have caring parents that are helping to cover my costs till my paycheck comes in).
