Termed Into Oblivion: February 2010
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. Day 279 8:30AM - 2:50PM. Today I thought I'd keep a diary on my trip to NYC to be a Floater for a Market Research study on how people use the Internet to purchase products. Essentially for $250 I hang out for three hours in case anyone bails on the study. I should be a PSA for getting your MBA. IT'S MARKET RESEARCH DAY! Frantically trying to pick out Market Research clothes. I need something that says "I'm happy to help but I don't need. A button-down with my Phish overalls?

Termed Into Oblivion: Day 342 4:42PM
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2010/04/day-342-442pm.html
Thursday, April 22, 2010. Owing to it's (relatively) immense popularity and the fact that I haven't had an original idea in weeks I am bringing back the Market Research Diary! Much like an episode of Fox's 24. This entry contains dubious passages of time, a protagonist that is 5' 6", and a surprise twist at the end; and like Fox's The Bernie Mac Show. It contains a sarcastic internal dialogue, adorable moppets, and a cameo by Carlos Mencia. This all takes place on Tuesday, April 20th, 2010. The Mexican S...

Termed Into Oblivion: July 2009
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. The lecture by Stephen J. Cannell "What is the Three Act Structure? At the end of Act Two is the second act curtain. This is the destruction of the hero's plan. At the end of Act Two the protagonist should be almost destroyed, and at the lowest point in the drama, either physically and/or emotionally. He (or she) is flat on his back and it looks like there is no way he can succeed.". I'd like to hope this is the ending of Act II of my E! Thursday, July 9, 2009. SarahKSilverman: ...

Termed Into Oblivion: Day 325 11:56PM
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2010/04/day-325-1156pm.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. I'm well aware that I haven't posted in almost a month and for that I apologize to my avid follower. I've been freelancing and consulting which makes this blog both difficult to do and kind of a farce, since I am somewhat employed. That being said, I am still mostly unemployed and certainly live like it so we press on. It's late but I wanted to get in a new Employed Dave vs. Let Go Dave. Would let that $.50 go, chalking it up to a win for the MTA; Let Go Dave. 3 The Hard Way. I'm a...

Termed Into Oblivion: September 2009
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Fantastic episode of Employed Dave vs. Let Go Dave. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. That being said, I'd like to pose the question: Where the F* K do online job applications go once you hit submit? C'mon I have an MBA from NYU; I have 7 years of Marketing experience with major. Companies; my interests include reading and boxing - could any sane HR person resist all that? The answer in a resounding "NO! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere. 3 The Hard Way.

Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Sorry for making you wait. Sorry for empowering myself by letting you sweat in the waiting area. I'm sure the receptionist's inane story about her boyfriend's band helped you focus. Have you started to doubt yourself yet? So tell me about yourself . Despite receiving your resume over a week ago and having it right in front of me I haven't pulled myself away from Facebook and TMZ.com long enough to read it. Can you tell me everything while I zone out for a few minutes? I'm looking f...

Termed Into Oblivion: November 2009
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Recently, I watched Homer Simpson struggle with his own mortality after consuming a poorly prepared piece of Fugu (toxic pufferfish served as sushi). This got me thinking about the five stages of grief (Homer goes through them quickly and hilariously in Dr. Hibbert's office) and how they apply to interviewing for a job you really want:. You may also do some bargaining with whatever God you worship here. I find Vishnu or James Earl Jones to be the most responsive. Did you know ...

Termed Into Oblivion: October 2009
http://termedintooblivion.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. When you cease working you cease to engage those parts of your brain that getting your MBA activated in the first place. My daily life right now doesn't beg for much high-level thinking (or waking up to be honest) but so as not to waste those two years of personal development here's how I keep up:. Unemployment checks count as Assets. Everything else in my life is a G*d d*mn Liability. Collaboration, Conflict, and Negotiation:. My largest unemployed project to-date involves an e...
