I’m Getting Dizzy
So I talked to Dispatcher Guy at work today about the job with his full time company. HR has my resume, and I had to fill out an online application to make it official that I was applying for a specific job. Basically, their website links to that creature-like online job board, so since I already have a resume on there, I uploaded it and was officially applied. He’s going to go to HR tomorrow and tell them that he wants to interview me, then I’ll get the telephone interview, which consists of those lovely behavioral assessment questions, and then Dispatcher Guy will be able to bring me in for a face to face interview. It’s sounding like I’m as good as in, so I hope something pans out for me soon.
As I’m leaving Security Company to go to a friend’s house tonite, I get a call from Sparkling Butterfly. I didn’t have to tell her why I hadn’t been showing up, she knows that with the insecurity of the job with her and the many other jobs I have to work as a result, it was pretty much impossible to balance it all. But, things have been getting better and better there, and she has had many meetings with the Big Cheese, and she is finally able to hire me full time. The pay rate at this time isn’t as good as what I’d make at Dispatcher Guy’s company, but there are plans for profit sharing and other great benefits in the works.
So it seems like I’m suddenly going from no job to 2 job offers. I swear, the way things have been going for me on the job front lately, I don’t know which end is up anymore. I told Sparkling Butterfly that I am in process with another company, so I’ll let her know by the end of the week. She’s a friend and wants me specifically for this job, so I know I’m not in any danger of losing the job if I don’t jump on it right this second. I have a few days to see how things play out.
As if I didn’t have enough things to worry about, I went to check my mail today and found the lock broken. I haven’t checked mail since Friday morning, so I don’t know what I might be missing, though I have received my current credit card bills and I believe my utility bills. I have a new check order that I’m waiting for, but they only shipped the other day, and by snail mail, so I don’t think they’d have arrived yet. There’s been no unusual activity on my account as of this writing, and I’m watching it like a hawk until those checks arrive. The apathetic apartment management wasn’t surprised when I told them, their response was, “Oh, you too?” So I’m guessing by that and the number of bright shiny new locks on the mailboxes that a lot of people got hit. Either way, I’m going to be looking into a private mailbox service asap. Oh, crap - my bank statement was probably in there. I usually have it by now. Yep, we’re visiting the bank tomorrow. Joy. And I already placed a fraud alert on my credit report, and keeping my fingers crossed that I didn’t have any tax stuff in there yet. That stuff usually shows up a bit later in the month. Grrr.
That’s about it for now. I need a drink, but my stomach is bothering me. Stupid acid reflux. I think I’ll have a cookie, some antacids and a glass of water instead.
