Woo-hoo…I’m an employee
With benefits and sick/vacation time and everything! Yay!
Ok, nothing has really changed with the job, I’ll admit. I already worked on things that most companies I worked for in the past would never have put a temp on, so access hasn’t changed. Still, it feels a little more secure (even though I know that’s an illusion) and that makes me happy.
That’s one problem down – and quite a number a head of me…but I’m happy, so happy, to scratch one off the list and move on. I’ll get my life back in order even if it is a small step here, a small step there…and at a snails’ pace. At least I’m moving in the right direction.
Tomorrow I become a REAL employee…
Yay! I’m no longer a temp…
Yes, the agency served its purpose and led to me and my husband BOTH getting jobs…but they did no more than they had to and they certainly were not helpful in fixing problems I had. I won’t miss them at all – and I hope not to go back.
It feels good to move into a “permanent” position, even though I know there’s not really job security anywhere anymore. Temps are usually the first to go, so it is good to get away from that. I feel more secure, and that is a relief of some of my stress.
Here’s to a bright new year, and hope for the future.
Wow…it is a wonder there aren’t cobwebs here…
It wasn’t intentional. My goal is to post at least three times a week (well – ok at least ONCE a week!) but I haven’t managed it.
Of course my computer crashed. I need my husband’s help in getting it up and running and that hasn’t been forth coming. Sigh. That’s going to drive me to do it myself, which is good for me no doubt, but I have so many other things that need doing. Sigh.
Well… to catch up: we went as a family to see Santa and have a pancake breakfast at my three-year-old’s school. That was a first for all of us and it was tremendous fun. My one-year-old sat on Santa’s lap and tried to eat the jingle bell on his belt. That was adorable. My oldest, the three year old, wouldn’t sit on Santa’s lap but he would sit near him…if I did. Sigh. Still, we got a cute family picture out of it.
Late last week, the company I have been doing temp work for made an offer. And I accepted. It isn’t effective until January, but that is fine by me. It is just WONDERFUl knowing (a) someone wants me and (b) I’m going to stop being “temporary” – these days that word just makes me nervous.
That’s about it. I am sure I’ll think of something I should have added when I no longer have computer access – that seems to be the way it works. Sigh.
