File this under “no wonder I felt so uneasy about starting this job assignment!”

Apparently UCC Direct needs machines! Not humans! I started working there yesterday and was let go today, along with the other 2 temps who started yesterday with me. ;p WTF. I guess we didn’t catch on fast enough. Geez Louise, hello? We just started!!

Also I think they are looking for people who want to make the mortgage business their career and to stay with them for years and years. Possibly till your teeth fall out. The boss lady even mentioned wanting to know what our future plans are with the company. I’ve only been there a day and a half, and extremely overwhelmed. I dont know yet! ;p (rolls eyes).

We never got that far with her anyway. We were canned before we even had our chat with her. :(

Seriously, they need people with mortgage backgrounds. We didn’t have that, and this was very alien. Too bad they weren’t willing to take much time to train us. Plus they were so damn unorganized. We (us temps) were basically just moved around, sharing a desk and one computer, taking turns doing stuff. It felt chaotic, and overwhelming. I was kinda ready to quit but willing to stuck it out for the week or even 2 or 3, to see how it goes. Especially because I need to work!! And I hate being a flake.

Damn, can’t I just PLEASE find a regular data entry job?

Okay, so lets go over my interests. These are fields of interest where I’d stay with a related company till I get my Gold Watch, if asked to:

Computers/Tech (I love geeky stuff).
Books (I’d probably love working at Barnes and Noble or Borders)
Entertainment (anything to do with film or television production, including being a personal or production assistant, or working in a production office, or theatre).
Photography
Digital Graphics/Media (this could include working in advertisement)
Internet. (dont’ laugh. Of course I love the web. ;p Don’t we all! ;) But I mean working in ECommerce or doing websites, web design, or a web-design company. Or internet research for a company).
Publicity/Publicist. I guess this can also go under “entertainment” or “advertisement” or “internet”. I’ve enjoyed running Rachel’s site, and helping friends spread the word/advertise about their projects, via the web. I’d love to take that on a grander scale.

As far as a regular office job goes, nothing makes me happier than mindlessly entering data into a computer. Some see it as boring drudge. I consider it extremely Zen. I loved doing that at SCIF, and we were even able to listen to our ipods while working.

Well, UCC Direct - R.I.P. Thanks for giving your temps a chance. NOT. ;p

Geez, I even stayed behind extra time at the end of the day yesterday (my 1st day mind you!) helping boss-man finish up proofing some docs that needed to go out FedEx, because the girl that usually does it had to leave early. Way to say thanks, jerks. :-/

Well, as my friend Angela says.. “this just means something much better is around the corner”. :)
