My job sucks
Welcome to my first blog entry. I have a forum so why not a blog. I thought I'd start out summarizing recent career path.
I recently graduated college after enjoying 6 years in the Marine Corps. I got my first job at an IT company. Things were great at first doing some challenging work and learning stuff. But after a few years the work started drying out and I was forced to do work that I didn't really enjoy. So one day I decided to look for work. After a few weeks I get a job offer as a contractor with an agreement that I probably would get hired direct after about 6 months. So during the negotiating of my contract I agreed to a higher pay rate for no vacation time. Well here I am almost 10 months into this job and no signs of getting hired direct. To top it off I'm basically getting paid to attend useless meetings and surf the internet all day. This may sound like fun but not for the time period we're talking about here. I would rather be busy any day.
On another non-related topic.... I have my picture on a singles site and recently got a letter from some Russian chick. Now she looks pretty and writes pretty good English. But we have been exchanging emails for about 2-3 weeks now. She says she can't understand most of my letters but is now stating that she loves me. Is it me or is this a little strange. Am I to assume after her 1 sided letters, assuming she didn't really read my letters, that she could get attached enough to love me after 2-3 weeks?
I have also recently decided to begin tennis lessons. I tried in vane for two years now to join a softball league. But it seems you need to know people to get on a team. I tried the free agent thing but to no avail. Anyway I enjoy watching tennis and decided it might be a nice place to meet people, to include females. I just moved to this city in 2000 so I don't have a large friend network like I do in my hometown, well it's not large but bigger than it is here. So I'm half way through my second week of lessons and I'm loving it. My out of shape body is handling it rather well considering.
Well enough rambling for now...
