Well, that was non-existent

Got a call last night from the temp place where I was going to interview this morning to call them before I came in.

Never a good sign.

So I did all my prep, got ready, then called.

And they cancelled saying that they didn't have anything right now and that I should try them again closer to my availability date.

That seems a bit ludicrous, but I guess if they can't staff the folks they've got, why pick up any new folks?

So I have almost a full day to myself. Yippee.

It's good, in a way (trying to convince myself) because I can do some more tooling around with the resume and possibly get myself a little more ready for the inevitable hell of the interviewing process.

Why am I doing this again?

Is it safe?

I have never seen the movie "Marathon Man", but tonight I felt like I was re-enacting the classic scene from it, with myself as Dustin Hoffman and my dentist in the Laurence Olivier part.

Needless to say, the appointment did not go well. Routine cleaning with my dentist singing "I hate perio" under his breath and me alternating between cursing and screaming in pain.

We only got half done. And then the nice perio lady (yes, there actually is one - either that or my dentist did such a hatchet job that she was gentle by comparison) said that we wouldn't have time to do the rest.

At which point I was halfway out of the chair and heading home.
