Awww that sucks. At least you're free to pursue a more appealing option. :patpat:

Truth be told, I'm a little scared - student loans make everything harder :banghead:

I'm gonna do my best to find something better suited to me, but who knows where I'll end up.

I'm already on job hunt again - got home at 3:30, had resume, references, cover letter updated, unemployment benefits applied for, along with 8 resumes out by 6:30. :sweat:

All said and done, it's probably a good thing: I was dreading going every day for boredom. But really.. now is not the time to be looking for work :doh:

Drag... You weren't there very long, huh?

I've been laid off twice in my career... And moved on to better things, for the most part.

Ganbatte yo... :victory:

Have a great and safe trip!

No, it was a short run - 4 months to the day. I think it was a bad fit, really... the owner wasn't too happy with me and I was bored out of my mind every day. Here's hoping I'll find something better, as it has seemed to work out for you.

^- Actually.. I posted a little update on my website about my job loss.. if you're interested in learning something more

Good luck with your job hunt, hopefully you find something you'll really enjoy :victory:

I did.

Well seems like youre going to get a really good reference.

Life is all trial and error. I hope you find something that suits you soon.

:fingerscrossed:

OT: 15 days till I leave! :woot:

Im finding myself rather single focused these days.

Yoshaa! Team Samurai Japan defeat Cuba 6-0 in round 2 of WBC. :woot:

Thank you for the kind words (and the rest of you). It's scary right now, the economy being what it is and my student loans being what they are. But yes, keeping my chin up.

And if I were leaving in 15 days, I know where my mind would be as well :woot:

You should go watch them play. :mrgreen: Looks like they'll have to play the Kankokujins AGAIN.

Would somebody know where I can read about the latest Shogi news and scores?

Like this one, except with the most recent scores:

You'll do fine.
Smart, motivated people always do in the long run if not the short.
I have a couple of friends with those heavy student loans looming over them. :patpat:

And thanx, today it is exactly two weeks now till I go, I go, I go! :yippee:

Hmm, they're like gum on the Japan team's shoe, ne? :hehe:

Yeah and it's annoying. When the game was on, everyone and their mother was on their keitai watching or getting updates while heading for work.

At least people in Japan care. Somehow the US has managed to avoid getting eliminated in spite of some of the most idiotic managing this side of the Bad News Bears from Davey Johnson. :shakehead: [/list:u] And I guess Darvish will be pitching for Japan tomorrow, ne? [/list:u]

Even more so whenever it's against Korea :hehe: Darvish Yu more than likely will start. Team USA better get their act together.

Yep and probably Cuba is the other place where people care. Let's be honest the other countries participating in the WBC don't really care. Obviously, players want to see if they can get signed in the MLB, but that's about it.
