I'm afraid that my retirement was short-lived.

Today was my second attempt* at hitting up the temp agency and, lo and behold, they have a three week assignment for me starting tomorrow. Just when I was getting used to being a bum. Oh, well. My savings will only take me until the end of this month, so it's for the best. Maybe.

Pros:
1. won't default on my student loan and other bills
2. will have enough scrilla left over to actually do more than one social thing a week
3. more constructive use of my time than the PS2 and porn

Cons:
1. have to shave everyday
2. have to wear shoes (summers are for flip-flops, dammit)
3. commute's a bitch
4. less time for PS2 and porn

I'll be spending my nights between the houses of my sister and spydrz. Otherwise, I'd be driving about 75 miles a day. I'd go into some lecture about our dependence on foreign oil, yada yada, but really it's just a damn long time to be in the car each day.

*I went to a more local temp agency last week, all dressed up in my suit, French cuffed shirt, Brooks Brothers tie, etc. ALL of the other potential temps were in t-shirts and jeans. It didn't really give off a "we have plenty of professional places to locate you" vibe. I don't think I'll be calling on that agency in the future.

You make me laugh out loud with your hilarious description at the asterisk.

I think BB and cuffs should be a prereq for just about everything...

The bar crowd would be so much better looking.

yea, i hate shaving...especially everyday...if you wait a couple days you can tell that what you're doing is "productive."

Enjoy the temp job.

Work's a bummer.
