wow, facebook was more gullible than i expected. (i'd posted that i'd been laid off & was off to join the circus.) i actually got two phone calls about it!

"did you actually get laid off? cause today's april fools, and i never believe anything that i hear today."

the fiscal year starts april 1. today i typed up an office supply order for the year, for 52 kegs of labatt to be delivered to our office, justification: "The budget situation and B-1184* have negatively impacted employee morale in the Purchase unit.

I just found out UAlbany's pool is open like...always? And they have an aquatic aerobics program :D

Interview on Monday :D :D :D Department of Public Service, Bureau of Hearings...i'd be the secretary for their administrative law judge, i'm assuming? They had to reschedule from Friday because (s)he? couldn't make it. & judging by the name, the HR person i'm meeting with beforehand is either the husband or son of a woman I worked with in my old ( Read more... )
