from zero to AIEEEE in 10 minutes
So this was my day today. I'm on the phone booking a reservation and my boss's boss comes by and says, "you got a permanent position!" And my brain went ZZZIIIPPP and my train of thought derailed taking out everyone except Bruce Willis. When I recovered and finished the call I logged off looking for her with questions (really? Which slot? What hours? Which days off? When does it kick in?) but she was nowhere to be found. So I asked my direct boss and he said yeah, I got the open 3-11pm slot (the one I wanted most!) and days off during the week (a regular schedule! So now I can make long range plans about stuff!) and he noted that yeah it took much longer to turn me over permanent from part time. It used to take about a year or so to work your way up to it, but when the economy tanked it set everything back so it took me TWO AND A HALF YEARS to get this. Yay for a guaranteed 40 hour work week! Yay for HEALTH INSURANCE! And all of that. And I told everyone I knew and we all did the happy dance.
Then my boss's boss comes by and says, you know something? I mistakenly took the signup sheet down a day early. So people can still sign up for that slot. Until tomorrow.
AIIIIEEEEEE!!!
(fortunately we're pretty much agreed that no one permanent wants a slot like that. So it's just a formality. Still, until it's sined, seeled and delivered by Buckaroo Banzaii I am not going to do any more happy dancing. So: watch this space. Tomorrow I should know. AUGH WHY MEEEEE???)
