And then I was employed...

Short news is, I start a new job tomorrow! I know, I thought it was pretty damned quick too, but Nick at Aerotek came through for me. Yaaay Nick! I take back all the nasty things I said about you! ;) (Just kidding. I meant them. KIDDING!) Actually Nick was pretty cool... I called him this morning and told him that I need a job, and was moderately urgent about it. He called me back at about 10-ish and told me that something had just come across his desk and he wanted to know if I was interested in it. It's another warehouse position, but this time it's data-entry in the office instead of working out on the floor (WOOT!). The hours are 10am to 7pm Monday-Friday. It's not making quite as much as the Amazon.com job but I have the feeling I'm not going to go in and be told to go back home tomorrow either. ;) It IS, however, much CLOSER than the Amazon.com job, which sorta makes up for it. Unfortunately it's not a definite temp-to-permanent position (but, let's be real, I doubt if the Amazon.com job was EITHER), but it IS an open-ended contract that Nick thinks will at the very least be longer than my assignment at Chase. He's got the impression that it's going to be MUCH more long-term than that, so we'll see. There's also the possibility of going permanent, of course.

So I start tomorrow, and the only question at this point is what TIME I start tomorrow (they may have me go in at 8am just tomorrow for orientation.) I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I'm not going to have another post later that says "Nick called me and said they don't need me after all"... I don't have any REAL reason to believe that would happen as Aerotek's been pretty solid with me about this kinda stuff, but considering how the past couple of weeks have gone, try to be prepared. ;) In this case, tho, no news is good news, if you don't hear from me then assume I'm starting tomorrow one way or the other, lol.

*sigh* This is a good feeling. I'm going to take the rest of the afternoon off of working to find work and relax a little. I am COMPLETELY zonked. :)

Wish me luck for tomorrow!

Love,
Crystal

Edit: Nick DID call, just to tell me I start at 8am tomorrow to go through orientation and gave me the name of the person I need to ask for when I get there. Yaaay!!!!!
