Hey all!   Today went great!   Well- manageable.  There is plenty of space IN the office...no computer unless you count the places cell phone.  Phaze one of the project is easy-ish.    Phaze 2, if I get that far --would be like selling a person a Ford when I drive and prefer GM.

Finger nails. uhuh.  Being that I garden. ---I need to clean up my fingers.

The very job is temp  BUT if I do well,  I could be asked to do other projects.

It was odd driving in- and back.   A boost of self esteem indeed.

Being that I have limitations,  my shifts will be 4-6 hours. 

--I have to remember to answer the question and stick with the point.   Not explore ways to change anything.   While I am told there is some flexabilty- the powers from above have a method to their madness- and irregardless if I agree with it-I am paid to walk THEIR walk.  Not my own.

-I think I can stay out of   the riffs.  I DO need to recall socializtion skills.   

BTW- 3 were to be there today.  1 came....that being me.

I did ask per W-2 or1099, and explained as to why.  I am told the accounting department can handle my concern.

...I see my handwritten notations are what the boss likes.   So tommorrow I will do more of that.  :-)

With prices going up on everything I touch,  this comes at a good time.  Oddly- the place is next door to a place Iworkedand LOVED!  [7 years]


so far  so good.  I had told my buddy   that- it is easier to work when the roof isnt dependent to that check.  when everything -=every second rides on making rent- i got jittery.


so far  so good!
 
Whoo hoo!
well done pahunkboy
 
Thanks for giving the update ... if anything comes up, we're here to help, 'cause we've all been there.

Day 2 went well.  :-)

Today I was more in the swing of the routine.  I worked with a girl who was new- and nice- easy to wrok with.   I volunteered to do some  driving.

I am perplexed by the manager saying  at the end that we were "too quiet".  Karen also was dumbfounded by that.  Anyhow- we DID process much of the papers....and ....getting things done.

We both are to come in on Monday.
:-)

The boss said the driving would "pay more". I hope so- as I just put $33 in the gas tank.  I phoned my buddy who got me in.  Mentioned  that  2 people were supposed to show up- and it did not sound like they even called.   He sounded pensive on that.
[he was recruiting]


So far so good.  So now to change into casual clothes.  [what I have on is dressy casual]

I have to wonder if  there are other projects in this same organization, that I can do.  So thats why I offerred to drive.

As I said- it is a temp project... so    --abit of cash is good.  Especially with the high costs of living.

Thanks for all your posts!   I still have some to learn- as the first few days- they likely let a worker get aclimated before cracking the whip. Certainly- it takes some picking up.   I am honored.  Funny thing- I hardly want to talk shop at home now.  At least the industry that I nowwork in.  LOL.

but then I guess the shoe maker would have holes in his shoes, right?
