A loooong weekend!
05.17.07 (11:33 am)   [edit]

I will be able to leave work at 3 on Friday! YAHOO!

I probably won't be back in the office until around 10 am though. I am looking forward to the interview. The company sounds like it would be a good one to work for. The position sounds more technical than something I should be able to handle.

The HR woman tried to reassure me on the phone, but you know how it is -- HR and the hiring manager sometimes have different ideas of what a suitable candidate would be!

I was wondering last night...would I have accepted my current job knowing who our client was? They do not have the most favourable stories regarding how they treat their employees. And I am supposed to write another article on disposing old PC parts.

The more research I do, the more that I find that American companies claiming to recycle old hardware, etc. are actually shipping these parts to countries that are more lax on their environmental policies. Underpaid workers have to deal with noxious fumes and chemicals when they go through the disposed computer parts.

It's not my place in the article to raise this kind of awareness. I feel like I have to write for something I am somewhat against.

And moreover, I think it's impossible to write a good article that covers all of the US regarding PC disposal. Every state is different. Not only am I being asked to write a useless article, but I am encouraged to be somewhat irresponsible!

I want a new employer.

Well I sure hope you get one. It sucks when work becomes a problem in one's life.

Oh, yuck... your work situation sounds not the best! I also would have moral dilemnas about writing about things I'm against.

Good Luck on the interview!!!

Thanks, I hope so too! I still really dislike my current place of employment. I was hoping to at least tough it out for a year.
