Words words words, as Dave Matthews says in “Pay For What You Get”. I spit out quite a few of them in my latest article, talking about my recent trip to a neighboring middle school to take the Suffolk County Police Exam. Yeah, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done an update, but I’m working on a few things at once. The Chinese Buffet article is still being worked on (it may be up Friday night or Saturday, so I can get one more taste of the C-Buff, or it may go later so I can get some photos to go along with the article), so that got pushed to the back burner. I scored an interview with Peter Payne, who runs J-List, mentioned below. That’ll be up soon, as I look for a few more good questions. Finally, what was going to be a simple update turned into Buhner.com Takes The Police Test. Hopefully, my seemingly simple experience makes for an enjoyable read, and I can come up with a few more articles in the near future. Until then, hang in there.

More Job Possibilities
Yep. You knew I couldn’t keep up that streak. Well, to be honest, I really didn’t have anything to say. Still don’t really, but since there’s alcohol in my bloodstream, stuff’ll just flow.
Got my first phone call from someone who received my resume in forever today. Granted, it isn’t exactly what I originally had in mind for when I graduated college (Boulder Creek Steakhouse), but it’s at least it’s selling a product I support (Boulder Creek’s got some damn tasty stuff.) They’re interviewing for the place they’re building in Riverhead, which wouldn’t be that far at all, and since they’re building, I’m assuming they don’t have anyone working there yet. The guy didn’t say what I would be interviewing/filling out an application for, but that’s why I speak to people in person, I guess. If I can’t get something in management, I’d like to tend bar, or at least train to do it; bartending can be a damn handy talent to have when you’re not making any money. Places always need bartenders, and it’s a good way to make some quick cash, especially if you’re good, if you don’t mind feeding people’s addictions. I don’t.
Outside of that, nothing new on the job front. Police test is May 3rd, which is still over a month away, and it’s not like they’re overly hiring anyone right now. But, like any Civil Service exam, you take it, then ignore it, and maybe some day someone will get back to you and offer you an interview, some six months down the road.
Outside of that, been wasting my life away playing Out Of The Park 5, an awesome text-based baseball simulation. Highly recommended. I’ll put up a review for it eventually, but in the meantime, if you want to check out the website, it’s here. It works off of eLicense, so don’t try looking for rips of it online.
Until next time.
