In which I finally post! I really don’t know what my problem is; I mean I have all this free time and everything, I just never blog anymore. Also: I use the phrase “fucking awesome” far too many times in this post. This is what’s great about my new job: there’s actual work to do. […]
In which I’m feeling bitchy, so I’m going to bitch. 1.) First of all, that rain? Isn’t just rain. There’s fucking snow in it. I know this because I just rode my bike to work in it, and now I’m cold and wet and my space heater died so I’m going to stay this way […]
In which I just got out of a great interview. (And the gig is only a mile from my house! Guess who can walk or ride a bike to work if she gets hired!) OMG OMG OMG I might soon be gainfully employed! In my industry, even! The hiring company is called Integratechs; the gig […]
In which I just checked my voice mail. I have an interview tomorrow afternoon for a helpdesk position at a “medical facility” (probably a clinic, but maybe a hospital, I don’t know because an outsourced IT company is actually doing the hiring). The pay range is $10-$14 an hour, DOE, which is about right for […]
In which I indulge in a little pre-vacation bitching. Don’t even read this, my babies! Save yourselves! Run away! Feet I sit cross-legged in my office chair. This is because I am, by nature, a floor-sitter and I don’t really like chairs. Sometimes when I sit like this my feet go to sleep. Right now […]
In which there’s an amazing cake! Today was the office “comfort food” potluck. (I brought a casserole.) There are two birthdays in the office this month; mine is one of them. And Dani, whom I didn’t even know was a baker, brought in this fantastic cake: Isn’t that thing just freakin’ awesome?!?
In which this will have to suffice! I was gonna write about my weekend, but it really needs a particular image to make the post work, but I still can’t send images from my phone to Flickr and I forgot the phone’s USB cable at home so I can’t get the image online until later. […]
In which I am acquiring things. I now have speakers and a UPS for my work machine. Still waiting on a proper desk and a second monitor. And a vid card. But still! Getting stuff! And my boss almost got me an ergo keyboard but they were $60 at Staples so I didn’t get one. […]
In which I’m happy. The new job rocks now. I have a desk, a chair, a phone, and and extension. I’m taking calls. Co-workers are all adorable and geeky. Got my last direct deposit from the call center yesterday, getting my first direct deposit from the ISP tomorrow. I have access to accounts and billing […]
In which I’m all settled in. Started the new job Tuesday. I like it here. Not much training to speak of but since this is my fourth ISP I don’t really need much. What I do need is a desk of my own, an extension, a headset, and some logins and I’ll be just fine. […]
