I passed!

I scored a 93% on the private written test today. So that’s one more thing done, and another million left to do.

I’m slowly working on journaling recent flying activities. But I must sleep now.

I’m getting closer. Maybe I’ll be done in a couple of weeks if the weather doesn’t turn back to crap. I’ve got another 10 or so lessons… I’m already at ~40 hours of flight time.

Misc. Update

Gmail invites are going quickly. Berck is giving them away to perfect strangers on gmailswap.com. So if you want one, ask us quickly.

The pepper and spice plants survived our trip to Richmond. In fact, with all the rain we’ve been getting this week, they’re thriving.

The fish was alive when we got home too, though he started swimming around his bowl crazily when he saw the movement of us coming in through the front door. He attacked the food Berck gave him with vigor. I guess he was pretty hungry.

The Job Search

I’ve got a huge list of things to do, but I can never remember them all when I have some time to do them. So I’ll post something.

The job search has got me down. Adecco (a staffing agency) called me last week right before we left for Richmond to say they had an opening I might be interested in. It pays about what I want, and it’s doing something that doesn’t sound hard. The only thing is that it’s for “a couple of months,” though the recruiter I talked to said the last time this particular company hired people to do this task, the project lasted two years. It’s temping, so there aren’t any benefits, but that’s okay.

But Adecco only processes and tests people Mon. thru Thurs. from 8 to 1. Which means I’d have to take off work to go jump through some hoops for a job that I may or may not get and which only may last for a couple of months. Berck doesn’t think I should ask for time off, though I wonder how much of his view comes from his experience with Adecco jerking him around when he worked for Verizon.

But will I ever get another job if I never take time off from the warehouse to interview and such? I don’t know.

I’m discouraged.
