Going Cheep.

...I'm now in-between Jobs. Gotta love me.

I'm confident it won't take long before another job turns up. :D

See, I AM an Optometrist. The glass is always half full. And it's the top half !

Luckily, in this country we dont get unemployment support unless we look for 10 jobs a week. I've GoTTA get one soon.

...in other news I love the Zoetrope in DCA. I want one. Thanks for the vid on Youtube, Isaac. :snap:

I know you'll find something great. This sounds like the perfect opportunity to try something new and exciting. Cheesemaker? Dance Instructor? Perhaps you could use your spare time to set up the Antipodean Land Company and build a Disney park...

That is all.









aka, I miss you. And, whew, I'm just glad you posted something .... even if it's to say you're out of a job. My law firm is closing up shop at the end of the year. Come back to the States ... we can look thru the Want Ads together!

I agree with iSm... time to make a BIG change ;) We have those things of which you seek which are called "jobs". We could find you a nice shiny one with healthcare and bacon.

Well, I am jobless now too.

Hence my ability to post on this message board during "business hours".

Chalk up another casualty of the Mortgage Industry here.

Good luck, Lash, and I hope things Look Up for you soon.

Perhaps someone is hiring a professional jet setter? You seem highly qualify, and we'll all happily be references.

I could be a Professional Disney Guest, and travel the world going to all the parks and rating the ease of transport to get there, The tastiness of each menu in each restaurant in each resort, and then rating the luxuriousness of all the top suites in each Disney-owned hotel. Once I'd done all of them, then I'd get to start them all over again.

Where do I sign?

Someone recently suggested I become a professional hedonist - I keep returning to the pleasure I would take at being able to claim all hedonistic indulgences as business expenses. Now I just have to come up with a business model, once I do you can have the Aussie franchise.

Can't you write up your experiences, put them on a website, and let the ads pay for your next hedonistic experience?

I have an interview !!

I've gotten through all the online culling and such, and have a final interview tomorrow at 3pm my time (it'e 10:45pm my time now just to orient you)

If I'm successful, I'll be working for a big international credit card company in their corporate cards division. Big Business. I think I'm their man.

Oh, did I mention the HUGE discounted airfares for international travel ?

I may be travelling Express to America next time !!!! :D

Yay.

~MS~

Most excellent news my favorite Bear! I'm thinking discounted travel is a mega perk with you and stoat!

Oooo, I just wanted to step on here and send the Bear and the Goon some really big hugs and lots and lots of pixie dust for good luck!!

{Oh, and I'm sorry if your nick name is Sub instead of Goon, I just thought it sounded good....}

lashbear
10-29-2007, 12:26 AM
Back from the interview - it seemed to go really well. I researched the company before going and they semed pleasantly surprised when I told them all I knew about the corporate cards division (I was on the money, thank goodness).

My answers to the questions were good enough that none of the other panellists needed clarification.

I should know in 24 hours. :D

I won't mention the company yet, but I AM an EXpert at giving hints about such things. :p

alphabassettgrrl
10-29-2007, 12:34 AM
Excellent news, bear! :) It's good form to research the company so you can intelligently answer questions and shows incentive and interest. Companies like that. :)

Express to America??? Excellent! Come play at Disneyland more. :)

Snowflake
10-29-2007, 08:12 AM
I agree with iSm, return triumphantly to America!

I'll send some good new job vibes to you! Please wave a cheery hello to Stoat from the snowy one in San Francisco. I think of you both and the mouspods every time I go back to Japantown for some good eats.

If you take Lisa's job, I want pics of you in a LoT thong hoovering!
