News Of The Week In Review.
Had a fantastic meeting Friday with the director at my job, where we discussed my next project (designing graphs/charts for the open house Feb. 11) and the procedures we'll use to follow up with respondents to the fundraising event.
She all but promised me a permanent position, saying that when the receptionist they have leaves (they're letting her go but are allowing her to stay for a while to allow her time to look for something else) we can "discuss something more secure." Yeah, I don't really like working reception but I'm hoping that they will see my skill set is wasted there and think of something else for me. Mostly I'll miss the quiet and privacy of my beautiful little office; it'll really seem like a demotion to have to sit exposed at the receptionist station. There is a concern over whether it'd pay well enough for me to accomplish some specific goals I have right now, but a job is a job in these times, so we'll see.
But I've already submitted a couple of ideas that have been well received, as well as designing a possible logo/letterhead for the fundraising event that the director liked quite a bit and appears to actually be considering using. I'm keeping a list of ideas and am going to try to eventually leverage this experience into a job in fund development, which is what I really want to do. It'll be tough without having the time or money or support system to attend graduate school, but in nonprofits experience can often count for quite a lot. Here's hoping.
Asked for and got March 9 off so Escapade Dead Dog Party, here I come! Am thrilled to be rooming with the_shoshanna and assisting her at the art auction. I can't wait to get away from here for a bit and just enjoy myself.
...Oh, and I have ordered a custom-made two-piece swimsuit, something I would never before in my storied existence have even considered. What the hell is wrong with me? Ha!
