Wish Me Luck People!

I have more to do today than I know what to do with at the moment. Well, it's lunch time and I suppose that's a start in taking a break since I totally skipped my first break of the day to ensure some items were cut, stuffed, and mailed out by noon. I have another pile to do as well. This means lots and lots of crap to do. Supposedly, things are going to calm down at the end of the month. I don't know what that means for me just yet. Calming down mean I am gonna canned from here and move to another office again? :( That would suck ass, because the location for the morning commute is nice. First left onto campus and easy out the door to get home too. Then again, it's nowhere convenient to any place else on campus. I can't walk to Cafe' Vienna or McDonald's from here, not without losing a half hour to walking on my lunch hour. The walking, not such a bad thing, but the weather has finally turned cold enough to make me hesitate trekking about campus in dress shoes. Errrg.

Meanwhile, 20 minutes to go for lunch, I might have gotten to this sooner, but since one of the small nuclear kitchen devices (otherwise known as a microwave) was unplugged, the line was long in the break room to even heat lunch up. I then found out there was a second break room in the back of the office next to another set of rest rooms. wOOt! So then, I find out there are soda bottles rather than cans in the back break room. DOUBLE wOOt! I can get a bottle and not be so paranoid about people knocking over a soda can onto my desktop. Shite, that would suck, especially here. I doubt they are forgiving about dumping liquids into the computers.

I am still anticipating return interviews for WorkOne and First Steps. It hasn't been quite a week, but I am wondering what's going with the First Steps people, they said they were going to call back for a secondary interview to meet with another supervisor that could not make it to the last one. Joooy. I wonder if I should pester or just leave it alone. There is such a thing as overkill in following up. Again, not sure I want that particular job where I have to use the home I live in for work purposes. That, and I don't want to tear the shit up out of car with excessive mileage before it is paid off or traded-in. Sure, 44 cents a mile reimbursement, but I doubt that covers the repair costs and accelerated depreciation of the car. As if the normal rate of depreciation isn't bad enough, let me just take a sledge hammer to it. It would have the same cumulative value affect. Ugh. Somebody make up my mind for me!

Tomorrow is an actual Purdue Interview for a clerical position. What really cracks me up, they called me last week to see if I would take less than the desired hourly wage of 10.50 an hour. How much less we talking here? It would be $ 8.80-$9.84 an hour. OUCH! Yeah, I'll interview for the position, if it means the possibility of benefits, I'll interview for it. EEP! That's a scary thought. I'll be working next to another building I have worked in before. Fun-fun. The building is located near a faster route into campus than the other buildings I have worked in before. YAY-rah.

I am on a ROLL here!!! Got another interview with a place called Family Services sometime this week! Well, it's a call I got while doing something else, I have yet to talk to them directly just yet. This merely means another nibble has come up and I may very well have another interview coming this week wOOt! DOUBLE wOOt! Must of course call back, which I did, and the person who called was on the phone. So I am now waiting on them to call me back. Fun-fun. I gotta get back to work now though. Too much to do today. :(

Looks like, now that I am home, the new interview is set up for Thursday. Weeee! Happy-Happy Joy-Joy! So, there’s the number 61 that has shown up ever since I moved to Lafayette. The last four of my first LAN line number 8561, cell 2761, last four on my car plates 5361. The kicker today, the last four digits of the employer I called were 5361 as well. WTF? Coincidence or what? spOOky!

Anyhoo, that’s all I have to say for now.

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin...
