2005, Time for Change (hoping)
So today was a good day. I went into work and no plans of being fired. At least from my senses. I mean, they are so backed up and I produce a ton of work compared to most others. Not to mention they havent been able to fill the one position thats been open for several months now. My guess is, they need me. Ive determined however I may not need them.
So my days have been better at work. *that* woman seems to be warming up to me finally *chuckle*. My guess? Ive been becoming very chummy with all the others in the department and poor *that* woman has been being left out. Soooooo I decided its ok if she contributes to the conversation and have allowed her to laugh with us. We still laugh by ourselves behind her back. So its keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
Well the systems were down at work today so the morning was spent relaxing. We had a meeting which was long over due. Boring to the rest of the world. Which brings me to the interview.
Yes, my interview at Tech Skills . How was it you ask? It was fantastic. I think I made a really good impression on the director and met with several other trainers there. I think I made a good impression on all of them however some more than others. The director told me at the end, she already likes me which was a good sign in my book.
Tuesday I go back for another interview. This will be the biggest test. I will meet the big boss from Las Vegas and interview with him. Keep your fingers crossed because if all goes well, Ill have a job I may actually love going to. Im pretty good with people (so Ive been told), and Ive been told I would make a great trainer. Im also great with software and computers (although I could always be better). All these add up to a great place to be. The best part will be the distance. It will cut my commute in half and I would never have to go to Oakland again.
The only other thing to mention is that my pay went up this week due to the 26 pay weeks in 2005 compared to 27 in 2004. This was a nice bonus. I am also wondering about tax time. Ive never made this amount in a year and dont really know what to expect. I will also have two state taxes to fill out. Hmmmmm, filing my first CA taxes. This should be interesting.
Lets see... This evening I updated my webpage with some Pictures I scanned of family and friends from about 10 years ago or better.
I also chatted with a friend on gay.com who gave my resume to a doctor he knows. The position is for an office manager and apparently pays $30/hr. That would be a nice salary as well but I still think Im hoping for the job I interviewed for today.
So thats about it. Life is good and I wont complain. At least not for tonight.
