They're an Insurance company. I'm working in the IT department obviously. And I don't have to travel.

Congrats on the job.

On the note of unemployment. My unemployment claim was approved this morning. If my long term disability doesn't get approved I have this to fall back on. I cannot wait to be released back to find a new job.

Congratz there Anthony!!

On my end, I'm still holding on to my job. Im currently just walking in, and asking them to see if they can plug me in somewhere to replace an absent guy. Fun because I get to see many different games, and not have to work to hard since I'm only temporary. Not so fun because some of those game suck hardcore, and some teams ask (nay, DEMAND) that I produce work equal to that of a seasoned expert, even when I'm not even given the time to learn the damn controls!

Congratulations Anthony!

With the way the economy is going it looks like I'll be sticking around for Graduate school. Luckily I work for a research lab on campus that will pay my tuition and living expenses while I get my masters degree.

That's the way to go man.
I might go to graduate school as well, once I finally finish up my undergrad. It was a weird experience - we had our advisement meeting last week for enrollment next semester, and it occurred to me that while everyone else in my class was planning their senior year, I was planning my next three. A very odd feeling (for the record I'm a triple major, all three in music).
So if I go to graduate school, I will have spent 21 in school.

Just to add to Anthony's thread.

I have a job interview tomorrow at 10am with MedCorp. They are a for profit, private ambulance, ambulette and are the only licensed fixed wing medical aircraft in Ohio. They have contracts with various hospitals in central Ohio and major hospitals like Cleveland. They are also first to respond on some medical calls.

I have to bring all my EMS certifications and CPR card tomorrow to the interview along with my social security card. I'm STOKED! 😃

I have heard in many places that you are not supposed to keep your SS card on your person.
It might even be illegal for them to need the card itself.

Regardless though I hope you get it.

In case your wallet is lost/stolen it's always a good idea to keep your wallet as slim as possible... gee, I should follow my own advice, holy shit there's a lot of random crap in my wallet right now!

It's not required per se, however you are required to provide proof of identity and eligibility to work. For most people that's your driver's license plus Social Security card. A passport or military ID satisfies both requirements.

Identity theft prevention / HR spiels aside, good luck to all job seekers! There is work out there, you just have to look hard enough for it. Hell I was able to finally get back to work during this supposed recession.

It's not illegal for them to copy the card itself.

The interview was rather informal. I dressed nice, filled out the paperwork when I got there and then went into his office for the interview. Sat on the couch, told him about my experience as an EMT, what I've seen in the hospital and learned to do. He told me about the company and turns out it's better than I thought.

They transport dialysis patients to terminally ill patients. They are first on scene for everything from chest pain to a full cardiac arrest. They travel all over Ohio and into neighboring states with critical patients. The fact that I'll be running "hot" as first squad on scene is great.

I was hoping to go right to 24/48 hour shifts but they give those to people based on seniority and who wants to move to the shift. I'll be working 10 hour shifts plus a lot over time. They are doing over 100 runs a week. He copied all my cards, is going to send for my driving record and once it comes back next week I should have a job.

Oh and Lilith try and be a more constructive troll. That post was lacking.

You're training to be a domme?

[drowns in his own drool]

I would never let myself be dominated like that, but the outfits are fucking hot.

You're saying "they'll prob be on the internet soon enough".

HELL YEAH!

I got the job! I'm working four days on, four days off. 12 hours each day then I get four days to relax. This calls for a drink. Too bad I don't have any jack here.

Congrats hon. This is one big step towards getting a place of your own. 😊
