Western Virginia is very pretty, but the whole state is too dang humid.
Heh, I keep seeing ads for US Army Bandsmen wanted on Careerbuilder. Maybe you have a future there?
Become a bartender. Seems like sound advice to me.I have been seriously considering enlisting with the Navy or Navy Reserve and go with music there.
Or, I could buck up, practice, and get good enough to be accepted to a school of music.
Both options don't appeal to me, even though I know either puts my future in a much better place than it is now. Stupid having to work for success. This blows.

Assuming she was married...
If you've got a college degree, talk to Spherion or a similar type of company. They'll at least get you some temp gigs. I got laid off during the 2003 recession, and that's how I ended up with my company (temped for another temp agency which my employer has disavowed as being too expensive). Now I'm a business analyst supporting the department for which I temped, working on yet another multi-million dollar project. A lot of people get picked up full-time after a few temp gigs. And you don't necessarily need a degree in business to get a start with a financial company. In fact, the guy who manages the production managers likes to boast (or he did until he realized that it was keeping him back by being an *) that he has a psych degree and he manages people who went to school for the stuff we do.
I hate being the one giving the interview. My manager has every prospective new employee get interviewed by my entire dept. We're looking for a few things from that, including whether or not we could tolerate the person's personality. I hate wading through the BS to every answer we give. We usually hire on Ops Analysts (entry-level analysts) and therefore it's usually production staffers looking for a promotion. They realize once we start asking some rudimentary questions about our job that they're outclassed, and start talking like they're writing an English paper. Those are the ones that lose right away, but then there are others who do put on a good show, and you get suckered in. It's happened to us once in the last two years. He now agrees that a potato is a vegetable.I've been on both sides. It's more fun to be the guy sitting there going "hehehehehehe, I wonder if he's nervous!"
I actually had a girl tell me that we meat eaters were to blame for the hole in the ozone because if we didn't eat cows they wouldn't need to breed so much of them and their methane producing gas. She said we should all be vegetarians because it would stop global warming and save the planet. She then asked how I was saving the planet. My response...
*holding up my bacon cheeseburger*
"I'm eating the ****ing cow. They can't produce methane when they're in a patty."
It's a shame that she was serious...she was cute.
Yes, the fact she was a vegetarian was the reason nothing happened between you two.
I'd like to think that it was...it wasn't, but, I'd like to think that way...Yes, the fact she was a vegetarian was the reason nothing happened between you two.
