More Work
I found out today that my job won’t finish this Friday. They’ve asked me to come back next week, but for only 3 days next week, and then for 2 days the week after.
The reason for the 3-day week next week is because the woman I’m working with is on two days’ vacation and they figure I won’t have as much to do if she’s gone. Talk about getting your money’s worth. It’ll be nice, though, to have a long weekend, especially since that’s a piano Saturday where I have to get up at 7:00. I’ll at least get to sleep in on Thursday and Friday.
So at least I’ll get another week’s pay, which may not only help with my overdraft, but may give me a couple of bucks for some bills – or at least for credit card payments. I’ve kinda lost track of which credit card is due when, and when I have no money, I’m always scared to look in case it’s due NOW.
I’m a little disappointed that I won’t be able to apply for their webmaster job since they don’t hire through agencies, and having worked there through an agency, they’d have to pay them a cut to hire me.
Just think, if I hadn’t worked for them now, I would have been able to apply for the job later, when it hit the papers, and had the possibility of being hired since there would have been no agency involved.
I’m not sweating it. One of these days/months/years I’ll find something I like.
I did think about the possibility of approaching them and offering myself as a floater for the company, in any capacity they’d need, but as a permanent employee to cover for anybody who’s off. I may still approach HR to offer up that little tidbit, but their HR department doesn’t strike me as being overly “out of the box”.
Did I tell you that I finished the FEAR game? I finished the FEAR game. The other day. Now I have nothing left to play except Zuma since I haven’t been playing that ever since I bought FEAR. That really sucks since you know I probably haven’t gotten better at Zuma with my lack of playing.
So I’m gonna do that now since I’ve already gotten my clothes ready for tomorrow, washed and creamed my poor burnt up face, and made my lunch. My work here is done.
My snookey has just gone to take back empties and pick himself up some beer. He’s on a beer kick lately. Normally I can sit around drinking beer whenever I damned well feel like it, and he’ll hardly ever have any. The last couple of nights he’s been into it. Last night he even had more than me, which is highly unusual.
He better get it all in tonight since my horoscope says I’m gonna get laid tomorrow night and Friday. It’s a little more vague on Saturday, so I can’t figure out whether that means action or lovey-dovey girly crap. I’ll have to wait and see.
Ya right, like I wait to see. Like the only time I get laid is based on a horoscope. You and I both know that I come from the Captain Picard school of thought… “make it so”.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
