(no subject)
Okay, I am going to try and make a concentrated effort to write at least a -little- bit every day, of which this oft-neglected LJ makes an ideal use for.
Now, I just need to think of something to say. :|
Okay, yeah. Training on new job this week and so far i'm liking it, though there's some serious responsibility to it (I'm responsible for large amounts of money and making sure it gets where it's supposed to go) which is cool in one effect on account of "yay i'm important" but also horrible in the sense of "oh god if I screw anything up I AM FUCKED DX", so it's a rather even keel between pitched excitement and utter horror. I'm sure that, as time goes by, i'll find a natural rhythm to things.
The only real downside is that the position is part-time, liable to stay that way and I need to do it for at least six months before I could apply to anything else within the company. The shift also ends too late for me to have any hope of snagging an afternoon substitute teaching assignment which was a little frustrating as well, so i'm basically kind of wracking my brain trying to find something else I can hopefully do in the afternoons. It kinda feels weird to have all the frustration of looking for a job that's plagued me for that last several months -while- having an actual permanent position of some sort...I get insurance, at least? Yay?
Yeah, if nothing else one of my agencies has a month long assignment for me in March at a company i've worked for before, allowing me to take evening shifts so as not to conflict with my current job. The only downside is that i'd be working a staggering 60 hours a week during that month..but hey, might as well make up for the time spent sitting on my ass. :| Hopefully though, i'll have something less extreme prepared by the time that rolls around.
In the meantime, i'm impressed with our (Meaning me and the roommates') collective laziness; We recently hit the 6 month mark in our lease and there are -still- a few unpacked boxes laying around downstairs from the day we moved in. It's now an even bet as to whether or not they'll still be there if/when we leave.
Yeah, okay. That wasn't so bad. It doesn't even sound so emo!
