My sinuses are hurting again, which translates in to a nice headache for me. The perfect cure? Watching the Ice Skating show on ABC and adding tons of photos to Pixelog!
I still have to get the photos from yesterday off of the new camera, so for now it’s Boston travel photos.
By the way, there is just 1 week left to nominate your favorite sites for the Photobloggies!
Know what today is? Know what today is? Today is the day that Erika & Jay get married! I can’t believe the day is finally here – it seems like just yesterday that they got engaged. Best of wishes to the two of you!
Ever had one of those days where you get out of bed, realize that the cold you’ve been battling seems to be a lot better, you feel energized and in a great mood … and then everything gradually falls apart and you just wish you could go back to bed and start over again? Yeah, I’m having one of those days. Oh well, it can only get better again from here, right?
I had my 2nd interview this morning for the admin assistant position and it went well. One minor curve ball though – rather than them making a fast decision like we were expecting, they said they will be doing another round of interviews and then they will make a decision. That could make it 2-3 weeks from now before they make an offer. She also said she was interviewing several people – not just two like I thought. Another thing I learned today is that instead of paying overtime (I would help coordinate various events that would require working lunches or evenings) they let you take the time off in comp time. Great, except I was counting on the overtime pay to help make up the difference in salary between this and other positions.
On the other hand, the law firm that I interviewed with did ask specifically for me to come and temp for a month. They are providing parking and it will be secretary & paralegal work. It really is exactly what I wanted when the hunt started, and hopefully if it goes well they will bring me on permanently. The pay is also higher as a temp than what they were offering originally for salary thanks to the paralegal duties, and it is more hourly than I’ve been making while I’ve been temping so far. All in all – it seems pretty perfect. This gives me a chance to test them out while they test me out, and if in a month I don’t want to stay on board permanently, I don’t have to. They are closed on Monday, so I start on Tuesday.
In other news, I just got my Valentine’s Day, Birthday & Christmas gifts for 2003 all rolled in to one. This is sitting in a box on my living room floor, waiting for me to play with it. I am the luckiest girl in the world!
I thought that Karyn was a twit because she got herself in to credit card debt and begged on the internet to help her get out of it. She wasn’t unemployed like some of us, she just wanted help. Michel here on the other hand is a student and just wants you to help Give Boobs! Somehow it doesn’t bother me as much. She has her obvious supporters too – she’s raised one third of the money she needs already to fund her implants. Have we become numb to cyber-begging?
