Work Sucks
I'm losing a lot of motivation to work right now. sucks not having something you like to do, nor get paid much to do it. August 30, 2008 is my last day here at Smith Barney. My boss is a douche and i'm sick of doing this work and not being more productive. I'm going to dedicate my time to applying for grad school. Start looking for a job in october. blah

i don't know.
it's pretty funny. i revamped my monster and dice resumes over the weekend, and i've had 7 job offers/interview requests so far today. lol none look promising... mostly distance issues. nyc, etc... if i wasn't tied down to my house, maybe, but i'm not going anywhere. I also put an app in at espn (which is 5 min from me). not sure if i want to work there... too big, too many layers, too strict, etc etc that i'm not used to... but a 5 min commute would rock. |

it would definitely be an environment change for you. what's it going to take for you to bounce?
