I went to the nonprofit thing today. I meant to go tomorrow, but my intentions were rescheduled. Still too late. Stopped taking applications for web dork. Will volunteer there anyway, because it is a worthy cause. And maybe boost my ego by being 20 times more technically competent than the guy who will be doing it. <\/p>\n
Came back and within in an hour convinced the oakland adecco office to interview me (thursday morning at 9. The berkeley office turned me down even after I explained my situation), despite my lack of secretarial experience, as well as calling up 4 or 5 different messenger service places (2 of which were collectives, and one of those collectives was helpful. The first one was, err, not.) How this ranks me on the point scale, I don’t know, or especially care. That this all took place within 1.5-2 hours says something.<\/p>\n
Goals for tomorrow: hit the two nearby, morning-oriented coffee shops, and see what they have to say for themselves. <\/p>\n
Advantage of bike messenger: no need for gym membership, and if I don’t get a washboard this way, I won’t get one any other way. Enough pay to support myself, relatively performance driven pay. Fairly low cognitive demand. <\/p>\n
Advantage of temp agency: better pay, though still not great. Greater safety, no serious risk of accidents or damage. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow. More craigslist. More universities. Also hit the bike messenger stuff before I cross the bay on my way back. Now heading to east bay.<\/p>\n
