Another Thing Marked Off My To-Do List

The temp job only lasted two days. We had all our testing completed by 5:00 this afternoon. Basically the job consisted of sitting in a Chrysler Aspen (I don't recommend them...the seating is really uncomfortable) and driving the interstate loop around our city twice (about 75 miles each round).

Most of the first time around, I received 150 consecutive calls on two cell phones, one in each hand, saying "Phone 3" and "Phone 4" each time I answered. The rest of the drive was one 2-hour call to a NPR station on the west coast, noting if and when the call dropped. After lunch, testing involved driving to a somewhat rural area, parking, and either taking another 150 consecutive calls or doing another long call.

Kind of dull, but for $12 an hour, I don't mind. Unfortunately, my co-workers were also kind of dull; those long calls, when conversation was actually possible, were feeling really long by the time it was over.

On a more interesting note, I got called back for a second interview next Tuesday at the "big corporation" job.
