Dang
Man.
So I got a call from the temp agency on my lunch break informing me that there was no possibility of me getting hired full-time for this receptionist job because the people high up in the company have decided they are going to severely cut back the receptionist position to only three days a week, 9-3pm. She went right on to tell me about another temporary receptionist position at a bio-tech lab in Cambridge that is looking to hire someone permanently, and asked me if I would be interested in that. I said yes, because, what else was I going to say? It sounds like I've hit a dead-end at this current place.
I still don't really understand if the place I'm at now would offer me a permanent part-time position, or if they aren't willing to offer anything permanent at all. I almost would be tempted to say yes to part time work, if only because that would offer me another shot at working a few shifts at Ula, that cafe in JP. I have a feeling I missed the boat on that opportunity though. One of the owners emailed me two weeks ago asking if I'd be available to do 2 or 3 shifts a week. I had to say no, because I was working here and thought I'd be here until the end of February. The truth is I'd much rather work at Ula than any of these receptionist jobs. There's just no guarantee of getting enough hours to live off of there.
And I'm not psyched about this bio-tech place. Bio-tech? Sooo not my cup of tea. But what choice do I have? Not much of one at all.
I guess I'll be here for the rest of this week, but I'm not sure when the bio-tech thing would start. This is worrisome because I've been cutting it really close financially recently, and unless the bio-tech job starts right away, I can't afford to have a week gap.
Sorry for all this boring job stuff. It's just too bad, because this job was pretty f-ing sweet. I thought it was going to last longer. And it makes me more scared to be in this fucked up economy right now.
Ah well. To console myself I'm going to read City of Bones, instead of studying my GRE book. For this afternoon anyway, the GREs can suck it.
