I've just been offered a position covering Maternity leave for one year....

...is that good or bad?

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2006-08-14 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good... but throws a kink into travel plans

Specifically the Man who Burns in the Desert?

Well... the slow meander of a drive back in particular

[identity profile] corradus.livejournal.com 2006-08-14 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, perhaps that isn't tooo bad then, if you have the inclination to accept and get a ride back or something...assuming this is a job that interests you.

BTW, is the lift in your appartment fixed?

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2006-08-14 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they fixed the elevator sometime between midnight and 3am.

Umm.. I'm driving there and back, it's just we had hoped to see friends and family.

Glad you don't have to hump up and down those stairs...yuck.

So, I guess the computer is delayed yet again? ;)

A year's steady work's nothing to sneeze at. Life has pretty weird timing though, doesn't it?

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2006-08-14 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'm still going to take zenten to see the ocean... maybe jump in it.

A year's steady work that will probably allow me to be able to afford a car in 6 months is definitely nothing to cough at.

And now I remember what you wanted him for... we have time at the beginnig of the trip, just not at the end... and heck, I can always throw him out and come back for him.

LOL

I guess the opportunity is almost by definition a good thing... even if there turns out to be a better one, having the option, and the approbation, is nice, I would think.

Congrats!

Thank you

So was that the reference check I did on Friday? LOL! I'm glad to hear that you secured the position.

Remind me to tell you the story about your reference check....it was a classic!

Back to term papers....damn yee procrastination!

Yeah, I meant to give you a heads up that there would be another round of reference checks, but hell, I love candor.

I'm afraid to ask how it went now lol

It sounds like too good an opportunity to let slip away.

One year stable government work.. yes, it is good.

For some reason I could not open this post by clicking on the comments link. Strange.

Congrats. A bit of stability will be good for you... too bad about the travel plans though.

Do you mean that Zenten has never seen the ocean??

[identity profile] waterspyder.livejournal.com 2006-08-14 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I do believe that is correct.

Egads.

Don't just show it to him then... dunk him in it... repeatedly.
