weekend, at last

Had to work last weekend, then the first full week back for about 3 weeks (between requested time off and holiday), so this past week seemed extraordinarily long. Hello Saturday, I love you.

An recently had a minor tangle with the employment department (an audit claimed that she owed a lot of money back), but we dug up evidence to the contrary and now it is all settled, and in fact, they told her to file a new claim to cover a time period that originally wasn't covered. Yay!

S'pose I should get moving today, already.

bad news, good news

The bad news: she did not get the job.

The good news: HR called to break the news, almost apologizing that she was the only other candidate in the running, and that it made for a very difficult decision (two business days later than they'd intended) and oh, um, *digs toe into ground*, maybe she'd be interested in being contacted for a slightly lower position that's coming open on August 1st?

So she said yes, of course. :) Silver linings, and all that, seeing as they start their phone techs at roughly twice what I'm making now per hour.

Hoping that soon it will be the end of a labourious ride in a two-oar dinghy, moving up to at least a boat with an outboard motor. :)

that sound you hear

*boom today*

I raised my karma points yesterday by helping a woman get her shiny new iBook connected to the internet through Airport. She was so incredibly grateful. It really made me feel happy and proud to do something that simple and so important for this stranger.

update

They (prospective job) called to ask for references on Tuesday. We are taking this as a good sign. If we don't get word before the weekend I may just explode into flames!

Trader Joe's is evil. They are evil because they make a Mediterranean cheese-style yogurt, which is absolutely amazing with some Simple Syrup and fresh blueberries.

no news = good news?

No word yet on the results of the job interview. It's driving us crazy. I will post in 72 point caps and bold if the news is good, believe me.
