Whoa. Fast change. Going to work tomorrow.

After my panic today, thinking oh no, I'm going to have to look for a part-time job at a burger place or something while I go to school -- the temp agency called.

They'd contacted the place where I worked last year. The people there were thrilled I was available again and they've created a job supporting two departments.

The person who I'm supporting this time is pretty exacting, and it's Finance, which is not my forte. But I'll do what I can.

They're such good people. This is the company that was an absolute heartbreak to leave last November because it was just too much. It's one thing to do a part-time receptionist job while you're going to school full-time. Quite another to do the insanity of executive secretary work.

I start tomorrow morning. I'm thrilled.

And a little shocked. Okay, so much for summer vacation. It was nice, but better that I can go to school in the fall.

SNAFU is burning a hole in my pocket. Connie has it now (actually, I really meant for her just to read it to enjoy it, but well... she's just great).

Yeah, I can relate to that. My summer holiday this year is in effect limited to 1 week - I've been working full time as a doctor's secretary for almost 2 months now. But if that means I don't have to work during term time, I reckon it's worth it. Good luck with the job!

See. You didn't give up hope and there you go. ^_^

As to the thanks from your last comment, it's no problem. We were completely honest there when we said you could do it. (Heck, I sat there, firing off your resume post at her point-blank before asking her opinion of it as a business owner. If she had wanted to hedge or be dishonest-which I highly doubt this of my mother-she wouldn't have had time to do so. >})

Wish I would have said something earlier, but my ears were too busy turning red. ^^;

Ahahahah...I don't know about Weasley-pink (though I'd love to see a crayon that color), but they certainly turn an interesting shade of red. ^^;

No kidding, what a relief. Of course, then I was whinging about working as compared to school almost immediately.

We're never satisfied, are we?
