Yep, the day had come. The day that I will be delivered from the suffering that is work. The salvation of unemployement is upon me.
I still had 14.5 vacation days left, so I took them all. So as of today, I do not work at Mammoet anymore. Sorry Bugsy, no more cranes for me.
Now I have time to do the following things:
- Sleep
- Get my driving license
- Sleep
- Train
- Not doing any updates at the VG Press.
- Did I mention sleep?
- Play games

I didn't enjoy unemployment. In fact it was the worst time of my life and it left me scarred.
Hope you don't have to spend any longer in that limbo than you would enjoy.
I am not in Limbo. This last 14.5 days I will still get paid.

Okay, I had a job interview.
They offererd a salary per month that was less than I make now per four weeks. Fuck the extra year of work experience I just had and fuck the fact that I am a Master of Science graduate. And no other good secondary benefits. Car nope (unless needed, no guarantee), laptop nope, next salary unknown. You know what?! It is over! Tomorrow another interview with another company.
2011 starts good, unemployement here I come.
how do you expect people to give you new laptops when you spill hot chocolate over them?
I never spilled hot chocolate over my own laptop. It was someone elses.
You have the right attitude to get a good job, so I hope you find one you like.
Yep, always spill coffee on someone else's laptop, but never your own.
Okay, I went to an second interview and they evaluated my psy test. It was a test that you had to fill in online and it will tell you what kind of personality you have. Or rather what kind of personality you think you have. Apparently stress is not a factor, I have leadesship qualities and absolute no empathy. That last part is wrong, if I had no empathy at all, I would do nice things on occasion by accident. Clearly that never happens. I know very well when people feel bad, it is just that it is my duty to make them feel even worse.
The interview went well except for the part where they think I am a sociopath. Will hear soon if they are interested. Problem is that the company is far, will need to buy a car.
The company that made me an offer was refused by me. They actually wanted to pay me less than my previous job. How the hell is one year experience considered worse than no experience at all? They asked me to send in my payroll and they will see if they can fix it. I will send them a mail and explaining that my work was relevant to the work I will be doing there. If they don't come with a better offer I will refuse.
Yesterday I was called and they want to introduce me to yet another company. I have not begun searching yet, but I already have three job opportunities? Fuck that, if this keep up I will never be unemployed. Vader must be jealous of me, while he has trouble finding one job, I am probably rejecting three
empathy is the capacity to feel someone else's pain, not the ability to have awareness of it. you proclaim to have no feelings, hence you have no empathy. thus, test is right
