Comments on: Your Hope Must Be A Cockroach http://www.somrod.com/blog/archives/141 An unpolluted mind with a supreme idea is the greatest weapon. Only time will tell if you are adequately armed.

Management will gladly refund your pageview. Darren, you are spot on with the next job becoming the same bullshit in a year. But the advantage in someplace else is that (a) there'd be a higher salary and (b) I'd have the opportunity to get promoted --- two things currently dragging me down at my present job. And fear not, I gave up whiskey and all hard liquor in '98 and aside from a celebratory shot for someone's birthday or wedding, I haven't touched it since. Sorry Jim.

With the kind of frustrations you're experiencing, a glass or 4 of wine or whiskey is the last thing you should be thinking of. Can you picture you're ideal job and what you would like to do with your days, or are you stuck with 'another job but not this one?' What if the next job becomes just like your current one after twelve months? This is what kept happening to me. Things were fine in the new job for a year, and then it became the old job, with all the old frustrations. Whatever you do, stay away from the alcohol.

You know, like sinister bug and big sister. :) Actually, “Jimmy” Beam was an intentional word play off of Ben & Jerry. You know, like sinister bug and big sister. :)

You must of been thinking of the sausage guy. As far as the job searching, on average to find employment one considers better than their present job it can take up to 16-18 weeks. Your just at 12. Keep at it. Remember I find convicted felons employment everyday-I know what I am taking about. By the way it is “JIM” Beam. You must of been thinking of the sausage guy.
