My pal, Nate, had this job throughout the school year working for a lawyer. He couldn't work there over the summer so he gave the guy my name and number and whatnot so I could work there. Karmic Synergy. I basically had to just talk to this guy on the phone and I had the job. I got the job on Friday and started working on Monday. Baller.
So the job itself is not that baller. I search through thousands of insurance claims at a hospital. I look for one number on the claim form or the name of the hospital and separate them into four different piles and then once the box is done, you label the piles and put then in another box to be sorted through again by someone else. It pretty fucking monotonous and mind numbing, but all in all, its pretty easy and I can watch movies on my laptop while doing it. I have been watching Dead Like Me and True Blood.
There is a couple other graduates of University of the Pacific that work there. They have been graduated a year and both have no found legitimate jobs yet. We have talks on the daily about how the school does not do their part in helping out the future of their now Alumni. It is a good venting session usually because we are all fairly bitter about out time at Pacific, and to furthermore the bitterness UoP isterrible with alumni relations. I doubt that any of you reading this, that go to UoP, and have a job, got it because the school had a part in helping you find that job. Other than that we listen to good tunes and flip through paper.
Anyways, I sit in a room for 8 hours a day and then I go home and whatnot and chill and then do it again the next day. I am only allowed to work 30 hours a week, so I usually have fridays off, which has kind of been the death of me because I have been going out to the bars, getting retarded and then have all of friday to chill off my hangover. The rest of the weekend just speaks for itself.
I am once again coming to a crossroads in my life within the next two weeks. My place for the summer is getting re-inhabited by it's original renter, as school is starting soon. My job is ending within the next couple weeks because we were hired for a certain task and once it's done, it's done. I'm going home for a couple days to chill and go to a concert with my family and friend, but when I come back I will not have a place to stay, and I will not have a job. So I'm going to be couch crashing for awhile until I am able to hopefully rent on a month-to-month, very short term basis until I am able to make some moves. So if anyone has an extra room in their place, for a short term, probably twoish month basis, then let me know what the good word is. I'm willing to pay some kind of rent to sleep on a fouton/pull out couch also.
Also, if any of your places of employment are hiring, for anything that my college degree is worth applying to, please let me know. I don't think I am that picky because right now I am flipping through papers in a 12x12 room with no windows. But I am also not interested in being the night manager at Mcdonalds.
