Job Offers and Allergies
Curse you, Alex! All that talk about your eyes itching on Wednesday has made my allergies kick in... blar! Seemed to start Thursday morning- I can tell there's something in their air because the corners of my eyes are tingly. This morning it was worse, sneezed my ass of in Japanese and promptly had to bum snot-rags off Cat to save my poor sinuses. I can still breathe pretty much but I keep sneezing and my eyes are bothering me. Time to break out the Allegra!!
A pleasant surprise today. I've been looking for a summer job with which to split my Microservices position ($10/hr) and was turned down for a comparable position at the Honors College because they want someone to stay the year through. Well, screw them! On a desperate whim, I went to the career center webpage and looked up work study jobs despite my lack of work study. I emailed two positions with a copy of my resume. One is a tech positon for DPS which ended up offering me 15-20 hours a week at $9/ hour and the other a job for the Law Center tech people (they have their own Microserives, effectively... though they seem considerably LESS knowledgeable than Dan + Spencer + Patrick). I was about to take the job with DPS since it took the Law guys so long to get back to me, but they want my hot tech bod full time this summer for $10 an hour and I'm plenty willing to take that offer. SWEET. It does mean working 8-5 but eh, whatever, I can't really complain. I'll get my bling-bling and vacation time too... university jobs are so great. All these people want me for next year too. I'm SO IN DEMAND!! Mua-ha-ha. If Law is nice and if they want me bad enough, I'll go work for them next year at a pay increase.
Anyway, I'm seriously slacking off here- supposed to be doing journal entries in my sister blogs and writing responses to my peers' psych papers but I'm so excited that I can't concentrate. Going to Walla Walla in a few hours! Shows all summer! Almost end of the year! Nice day! Aaaah! My eyes!! *RUB RUB RUB* Dammit...
Ok, whew.
