Well, I got the temp job and I start tomorrow. It was a roller coaster, however. In the morning the recruiter called and said they went with another candidate, which they did. I then had a phone interview for another accounting position. The HR person called right on time, to military precision, and began the interview. It was ridiculous. Tell me about a situation where you had to work with people from various backgrounds and values and how you handled it. Tell me about a time when you had a problem at work and how you handled it. Tell me about a problem that you foresaw before a customer notified you of the problem. It was all pretty much crap and I just answered it as best I could and hung up without the slightest bit of energy on the situation. I was very indifferent to the entire position so at least I wasn't stressed out and worried about getting the job. Obviously a corporate machine I would probably not want any part of.
I got a call from the recruiter after lunch asking me if I could possibly start tomorrow as the current worker they sent wasn't cutting it. I said yes and hung up. They finally called around 3:30 and let me know that I was good to go. Should be really good to get my into a routine for a bit and get some money coming in. I'm going to try and start living on that amount of money if things work out with the position. It's in Solana Beach a few blocks from the beach so that is going to be cool. I think I might start bringing my bike to work and riding afterwards. I might even start commuting if I can figure out how to get there and shower. There is a 24 hour fitness pretty close so I could shower there. I'll see.
The Olympics is still going awesomely. It was great seeing Phelps win Gold in the 200 fly tonight but I could tell he wanted more. I really think he could have gone faster and he knows it. He is just so much better than everyone else and it's beautiful to see the domination.
It's 11:00 and I should start getting ready to go to sleep but I'm used to going to bed in 2-3 hours. It'll be fun getting to work at 7:30. I noticed a lot of early hours out here, most likely due to the West coast companies doing business with those in the East.
