HA!

Well, Mary just called to inform me that the folks who need help trust Appleone's judgment and are wanting me to start work on Monday without having to interview. The first day will be considered a "working interview." I work from 8 to 5 at between $9 and $9.50 an hour, which is fine, considering where it is. It's right down the road from me. If the Southern sun didn't broil me alive by the time I got there, I could walk to work!

After a week or so of working, if I decide I can deal with it, I'm going to start looking for a moped. ::firm nods::

Great news!

BTW, I used to temp for Appleone. They were the best agency I ever worked under.

That's very heartening to hear. I've never done the temp thing before, so I just followed my gut feeling and went with Appleone.

Well alright then! (raises a congratulatory cuppa tea to you)

Yo, mama! We should have a drink to celebrate.

2 things...

[identity profile] trelina.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thing 1: I used to work for a temp agency and it was wonderful. So flexible and yet stable at the same time. Loved it!

Thing 2: Mopeds rock! Make sure you greet people with "Ciao" ala Eddie Izzard when you pass by.

A third thing even though I said only 2. LJ's spell check doesn't recognize Izzard so it has suggested that I replace it with "buzzard". Awesome!

Eddie Buzzard, sitting on your TV, looking at you like Snoopy doing his vulture impersonation! Wheee!

*ciao*

Damn it all! Trelina beat me to the Eddie Izzard "Ciao" relate!

Anywho, congratulations on the new opportunity! How far away is the place, miles-wise (down the road is quite subjective)? Could you use a bicycle at first, so as to save up for a better moped?

Mopeds are a lot of fun - owned one as a kid. One thing though - WEAR A HELMET!!! I like your brain way too much to risk it getting dented....

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry. My head is too soft for me not to wear a helmet.

Hmm, walking it on a cool autumn day could be brill.

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm looking forward to all three days of it.

[identity profile] silent-druid.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay you! Congratulations!

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-06-03 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :)

Congrats bub. I was going to see if you wanted to go for a ride on the motorcycle but you're working. I think that's awesome. I'm glad someone is having some luck with it.

I still think you should get a small motorcycle so we can go riding together.

[identity profile] tinhuviel.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
I may graduate to a real motorcycle someday. Just give me time, eh?

got something for you.

[identity profile] green-goblin70.livejournal.com 2006-06-08 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I have something for you. Can you go outside from your work for a minute or two?

Give me a call about 11:00 today on my cell phone.

Re: got something for you.

Uh....just got this. What now?
