Well, apart from my opening breath of "work stinks", much like others would say, "hello", I had a chance talk with a woman at work last night. I suppose, all things considered positive things were:

she's nice (conversation wasn't wasted),
fellow trainee saw the "best fit" model for management is an arrogant ass who ditches work when he can. The next pick for trainee is just that; arrogant ass who leaves early when he can.

I completed changes on my cover letter and resume', so when I find a job where I plan to apply -- I'll have something.

If anyone knows of a job ... let me know, eh? While I'm not sure how far down I want to trade, I wouldn't mind trading laterally, if for nothing else than change of hypocrisy.
