i went to the stony brook job fair today along with my brother so that we could get some money in our pockets. my bro has no problem explaining to me that he really has none to spend. for the past 4 months, he's been sitting in his room sleeping until 6pm with no income and playing world of warcraft constantly. i'm personally surprised he hasn't grown into a slug, started drooling profusely, and started calling himself "jabba the hutt".
coming into the job fair, i wondered if i'd see anyone i knew at the fair. if that happened, i'd definitely get a "what the fuck are you doing here?" i did, and i did. firstly, i ran into old hallmate gabe. next, ran into old hallmate brain. brian gave me the perfect "what the fuck are you doing here?" facial expression. all i could say was "you see that company at that table over there? they laid me off last month, so i'm back here trying it again." that's right. photonics was back at the job fair. i had absolutely no problem going up to the table stirring up an awkward moment for the guy who hired me before. "hey, how you doing? me? i'm getting half the pay you gave me and i'm not insured! i'm fucking fantastic!"
why was it that whenever i mentioned my physics degree to prospective employers, they looked at me as if they were thinking "why the fuck would you get that degree?" they don't want physics degrees; they want engineering degrees. kids, better you know that now. anyone willing to hire a physics bachelor who is nit-picky for grammar and can sing bass/baritone?
mets, don't fuck it up.
