What's New

What's new? Nothing really. The job is going good. I am already doing a few things. I'm not counciling anyone yet. Since we are FDA regulated, we have training even for that. But mostly I'm back to sitting and reading at work, only this time they encourage a little web surfing so that I don't get fried out. Office work rocks. I get to take mini breaks like every hour. All for health reasons, don't want me to get any eye, leg, or back problems from all the excessive sitting :)

Anyway, they change me back to hourly (with the same pay), only now since I am hourly I get night differential and overtime pay again, till they get it figured out. How sweet is that. Now I can do my stint here then work overtime in the lab to help get them caught up. Which, by the way, I will be getting a lot of over time in the lab soon. BOY do we have some major problems coming up.

It was lab week this, which means lots of mini games to do at work with a 2 hour luncheon with a raffle. I didn't win anything...yet. There is still one game left that will be determined soon...and it is the big prize. Becky won something though. And lunch was from garden cafe....ooo swanky.

Decent week I guess. Their is a party that I kinda want to go to but probably can't cause it is a crossdressing party. And I don't know any women my size, and I am not in a position to go and buy womens clothes either. Maybe a moomoo (spelling?). Or a her's robe.

Black Day

Okay, so I'm a week off. I couldn't celebrate Balck Day last week so I'm doing it this week. In case any of you don't read my blog, like everyday, Black Day is a day that only people who were single on Valentines Day can celebrate. On April 14th, single people get together and basically have a traditional dish, which I love to death. I had it just about everyday over summer break. Anyway good stuff.

So, belated, but Happy Black Day.

Rung #2

So I start my new job tomorrow. It's only for 4 hours and then I go back to the lab for the rest of my shift. I'll be on this schedule for about a month. I'm a little nervous, being a councilor and all. Got to dress up for the part to...not my style, but got to play the part I guess. I get my own desk area, computer, get to bring a radio and stuff to decorate my place. I got an office gig basically, it feels like a lot of responsibility. Like this is who I will be for a while. I don't know, probably just pre-jitters and all that. That and I still don't know exactly what I'm doing. But I have been promised to eased into it...course, I've been promised many things by many businesses. I could always go back to the lab...I just might...sometime in the future...of my own choosing and after I pay my debt off, I hope. Anyway, I feels like a whole new world is opening up tomorrow, ... ... ... and I don't feel ready.

Blood/Paper

I got the job, my pay will raised about 50% and will be salary, and I will be working a 50/50 shift. I will spend half the day in Donor Suitability and the other half in Component Lab for awhile...til Component lab can live without me. I will be payed the new pay throughout though. When this will happen I haven't heard yet and if the time I come in will change, I still don't know. But I got the job.

Meanwhile: The last ten Stargate SG1 episodes will start this Friday....sweet.

And Grindhouse was a mile a minute funnertainment. That's right,... funnertainment. Anyway, it rocked, I recommend it. So what if it is 3 hours 19 minutes long....Lord of the Rings was that long and you sat through that...

Salary

Just had interview in the Donor Suitability department. I thought it went well, but I don't think I'll get it. Why? I don't know, I just have a sense about this stuff. I made them laugh, made them relaxed, I think they got a good judge for my character; but I also, don't meet all the requirements...then again, how many new hires meet every requirement...still don't think I'll get it.

::Edit::
So I got called into my supervisor's office about 2 hours after this post; she asked me what could they do to make me stay, she tells me they called up saying "We want him, how soon can you let him go?" She told them she would get back to them. So I said, the only reason I'm going is because of the money; which is why I do what I do at this place anyway, yeah sure, it does look good that I will finally have lab experience and counseling experience, but dude....the money is my main goal at this moment. I think I got the job, I haven't heard anything from them yet but I think I got the job.

Anyway, Bec and J are on a cruise this week. She called to complain 2 hours after she got on the boat...hehe. I told her that there is a time table on a cruise, and you have to adhere to it, not it to you. Oh well, she is having fun anyway.
