Yes, I hadda parody AVGN...but if I had put some sort of recording device next to me while I do my job searching, I'd probably make Mr. AVGN blush as I can talk some serious trash talk out of frustration to the point where you think playing any LJN game is like paradise compared to trying to remember a telephone book worth of passwords and different companies can use some teeny tiny variations on the basic platforms for passwords which just frustrate you so much you wish they were copies of Dick Tracy for the NES or ET for the Atari and run a drill with a 1" bit through it. Yeah...it's that frustrating.

And so goes my job search so far it seems. >.> Still no offers on the table, even after going all the way up to Kohler, WI (which was in the low 60's at the start of July where Augusta/Atlanta was mid 90s and feeling like the Okeefenokee Swamp - that was a vacation; all except I wish Kohler's little market had Sprecher's Hard Root Beer as a single bottle to enjoy.), Muskogee, OK and other many locales. That includes to instances going from Augusta to Atlanta/Alpharetta twice within a couple of months. Well, last week's trip to Atlanta seems to be promising as I interviewed with a company that provides services to industrial minerals/lime/cement companies with a wide variety of processes and process knowledge. The manager seemed to like me and overall I think the team liked my personality and experience. They had asked for my references and should be calling them this week. And upcoming, later this week I will actually be out in New Mexico interviewing for a position with a company that does piezoelectric components, early next week out in the San Jose area for a company that does LED lamps and lights and the week after out around Cleveland for a company that makes tools. Hopefully I might get an offer before hand but I don't...I don't think I'll mind actually travelling to new locales and such (even if the prospect of jobs in Cali driving my mom as batty as Howard's mom from The Big Bang Theory).

On top of it all...since I feel that my severance/bonus from my job is running out - hadda apply for unemployment (though in my opinion it's barely enough to cover my bills on a monthly basis - for just three months). So hopefully I'll finally have a job offer (and if it's somewhere in the Southeast at least relocating won't be that big of a headache) so I don't have to rely on that too long.

I might post something a little more fun later (like...GROUND MARINES! or...G-Tekketsu and the Gundam Barbatos or...playing Stick of Truth and doing everything you can to get Cartman angrier at you than he does with Kyle). :P
