File this
So yesterday one of the temp agencies gave me grief for calling them a few times a week. They said I wasn’t bugging them when I called so many times. Excuse me? Isn’t it your job to find me a job?? I was so pissed I almost called back and told them to take me off their so-called available list. But then I realized I really need the money so I bit my tongue. I just don’t get how they have NO jobs at all. Seriously.
Then the other temp agency (there’s only 2 that actually find work for attorneys in Rainy City) called and has a filing position open. That’s it, only filing. Now, I know I’m being snotty here, but I’m an attorney. When I was a senior in college, 7 years ago, I had a job as a file clerk at a law firm. That was fine, but I don’t want to revert back to that sort of position. Especially at a preeminent law firm, as an attorney, for a measly $14 an hour. And it’s downtown so I’d have to drive and park which combined daily would be about what I’d make daily in wages. I need the job and the money I know. But my pride doesn’t want me to take it.
OH and I find out about my bar results very soon, so there is a possibility* I’d be an attorney barred in two states doing filing. Yup, that would suck.
* don’t want to jinx myself here

Yes, it can be a bit sucky when there are no jobs out there that match your skills. I’ve been looking a jobs locally that are paying what I normally pay in tax. Needless to say I won’t be working in the local area

Yes, it does suck! And when I called them back, the job was taken. Darn! So are you moving to the States then Dom?

Moving to? No. Thinking of visiting to terrorise the local female population given I don’t seem to be having much luck in the UK? Yes

Well, assuming Des doesn’t have to leave the country, I could toddle over to Stamford, Connecticut stay with him and visit the Big Apple. Failing that I have an Uncle in Miami that I could visit. I suspect visiting bars and meeting women would be harder with the latter option though

Ohh Miami! But NY would be cool too….either way, I’m sure you’ll find a lovely lady

I sometimes prefer the west coast to the east coast, but whenever I go to NY I swear that is where I want to live.

You are my kind of guy Perpetual. The West Coast is the superior coast, of course
NY is great tho, and so are some other cities. West Coasters just are nicer!

If you live where I think you so, I’ve spent lots of time there and loved it
