ITT: I suck at job hunting, do you?
HiFranc:
Congratulations, Wet Helmet.
Sonof, could you take a part-time/season job to cover the time when you're not employed?
A Wet Helmet:
It ended up being the one I didn't think I wanted turned out to be a pretty awesome offer. The one I thought I wanted got a little bit worse every time I talked to them. I sent back my offer acceptance today and gave my current job two weeks notice. Time to move on.
The suckiest part of this is I'm now going to have to deal with Tyson's Corner traffic every fucking day. I know that means nothing to 99% of you, but to DC forumites, they know that's a special kind of hell.
SonofZ3:
HiFranc: Thats def. an option, but working two jobs to make ends meet as a plan is getting tiring. I've done the seasonal work for 3 years now, and 9 months seasonal is pretty good, but when it starts dropping then all the financial worries start to make boring, but steady, work look better every day.

Tyson's Corner is fucking awful. Where are you coming from? I had a temp job there in April, and from Germantown it took me 45 minutes to get there in the morning, and 2 hours home, bailing off the highway as soon as I got into Maryland. But the office building was only 2 blocks from the beltway, thank god.
Actually, that company where I temped seems to really like me and would hire me permanently, but they don't have anywhere to put me right now. Boo. So they just call me when they need a temp. And now I'm back at the idiocracy that laid me off last summer, except I have a little job security this time, because the office manager just had a baby on Saturday.
But also our realtor from when we bought our house sent my resume to "Mr. B" of "A & B Real Estate" so fingers are crossed on that.
I just want to find a damn job that I can stay at and know what's expected of me and not be bored out of my mind.
A Wet Helmet:
I'm coming from the south, so I get 495 and 95 traffic. Construction in the area is even worse now then the first time I moved here in the 80s. Holy hell, it's been well over 20 years, finish already. I remember it as not being so bad heading out there when I lived in Arlington and could just take surface streets, but yeah, it took me three and half hours to get home from that interview. I think I'm going to try to go in super early and leave super early. The other alternative is late/late. We'll see how it works out.
I wish you the best of luck in your hunt.
