Employment is a good thing
15Minutes, Life November 9th, 2003 |Oh, by the way…starting Tuesday, I’m working again.
Actually, I’ll be working tomorrow, too, on a one-day assignment from my temp agency. But Tuesday I start training for my new position.
It’s nothing overly glamourous — no dream job, no mind-bogglingly cool opportunities were dropped into my lap during my week of notoriety — but it’s a good steady job, which I’m quite satisfied with. I don’t want to get into too many details (for hopefully obvious reasons), but it’s another quick-print shop, running copiers, dealing with customers, etc. It will do quite nicely for the foreseeable future as I continue to work on getting enough bills paid to be able to investigate loans and grants to get me back into school, which I hope to accomplish in the coming year or so.
In any case, the main thing is that I only had to deal with two weeks of stressing about unemployment. I’m making a bit less than I was before, but not so much so that I have to worry overly much. I just won’t be able to splurge on another new computer anytime soon.
Thanks again to everyone who provided support, through comments, e-mails, messages, phone calls, and everything else.

Thanks everyone!
Of course, the downside is that during my training, I have to get up earlier than I like (pretty much anytime before 9am).
