next time you think you have a good job, think again
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
I've recently been spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about my help desk job and how it is pretty much boldly going nowhere fast. The pay is pretty good, but I am on contract with a vendor, so I'm pretty much a temp. I actually taught Trin the phrase 'Daddy Temp' the other day and she ran around the house yelling it at the top of her lungs.
Yes it was funny. But it didn't make me feel a hell of a lot better about my job.
To add to my discomfiture I recently came across a clip on MSN video about Fortune Magazine naming Google as the best company in America to work for. This from a list of 100 great places to work in the US.
Perks include on-site doctors, laundry services, 11 gourmet restaurants, barber shop, car washes, fitness center, massages and games rooms. All free of course. Oh and don't forget about $5,000 toward buying a hybrid electric/gas car. Or bringing your pet with you to work.

I suppose I could feel worse about my job after watching the clip, but I can console myself with the fact that I would never, ever have a chance in hell of getting a job at Google anyways.

Dude, your first roadblock is your attitude. If you don't bother to try, you'll never know.
What's the worst they can say? No. Eh?
She's right man, take a shot... Not like it'll crush you if they say no, you already expect it anyways.
Hmm I think I see where you two are going. Apply because I know I won't get it. I think they call that the 'lowest common denominator application'. Makes sense to me.
So much sense in fact that I just submitted my resume to Google and completed their Candidate Survey. They can't laugh me off if they don't know who I am right?
