Things Change Pretty Quick
Things Change Pretty Fast!
An update on our Roadrunner problems – they were solved by getting a new cable modem. The old one made it for seven years (it was the original one that we got when we got Roadrunner) but I guess year eight was out of the question. The new one is a lot smaller.
In a matter of a couple of weeks I go from being temp worker waiting for work to someone who will have a full-time job! Staples (the office supply company) is opening an Shared Financial Service Center in this area and I have accepted a job there. I’ll be working in accounts payable – but I don’t know much more than that I was offered one level higher and $10,000 a year more than I asked for (sweet!). It’s a little disconcerting not to know whom I’ll be working with and what I’ll be doing – but I’m up for the ride! I have a three-day temp job this week – my temp agency, understandably, doesn’t really want to me go but as I told one of my friends recently a permanent job trumps a temp job!
Temping has been pretty good to me these last four years. I’ve worked at quite a few places and have learned a lot. But I am most excited about getting some benefits – especially dental insurance which is the hardest one to do on your own.
The company that I spent eight years working at has gone out of business. It was a going concern when I was kicked out four years ago and it’s hard to believe that it’s been run into the ground in such short time.
Today was a little cool but the forecast for the upcoming week looks really nice – lots of sunny skies and normal temperatures. I’ve already seen one blooming tree and of course, a couple of dandelions… Spring is definitely on the way!
Take care & enjoy,
Florence
