Now let me...see...

Things on the job front are momentarily looking up. I got a call from a temp to hire agency that wants me to come in and interview for some Admin Assistant and Receptionist gigs they have. I could totally do that kind of work. It pays moderately well and will keep me from having to be on my feet all dang day. Of course, I dont' really own business attire, so that will be a big, expensive issue should I decide to go that way.

I also got a callback from WAAM for madush69's old gig. I said I'd take waaaay less money than I should have, but it'd still be more than I was making before. They called me with follow up questions less than an hour after I sent in my resume. So that looks promising.

Went to Regis this afternoon so the lovely Wendy/Wanda (see Fish Called Wanda for reference) could cut my hair and make it all snappy and nice. Now its' cute and fluffy with nice layers in the front. I also got all of the Nag Champa Hot Topic had in stock, some SuperHits, a button that says "I speak ParselTongue" and a DVD copy of the unrated version of Dawn of the Dead. Why did I buy a DVD when I'm so damn poor? It was $8 and I would have been foolish to resist.

I'm back at the shelter for the next 3 Thursday nights unless I get back to work in the mean time. I only hope it's not so oppresively hot like it was before. Oooh, and Wednesday night I get to finally see the season 3 finale of Smallville before the new season begins next week. Me likee Smallville!

Depending on how formal the place of business is, it shouldn't cost a fortune to be "properly" attired. (What, is today the day to talk about how to dress oneself? *heh*)

My "admin" outfits consist of black slacks (I own a whopping two pair), black shoes, and relatively nice blouses/shirts that can be had cheaply at Ross, or even Target or Freddy's. I take advantage of Casual Friday to wear my good jeans.

And of course, I wear socks with Hello, Kitty or mermaids or something on them, just to confuse the issue.

...i saw a shirt today that said "i'll make a beautiful corpse"

and that made me think of cute zombies...

which made me think of you.
just so you know.

That's true, some nice stretchy slacks would go a long way and are cheap. I was afriad i'd have to buy a bunch of those expensive skirt suits.

Oh, and thanks!

Ha.

It'd be pretty cool if you took madush's old spot. Think you could hold your tongue in the face of management? I'm much better at holding my tongue than I wish I were sometimes... (Not that I have much against how things are run at my current place of employ.)

I imagine I can hold my own against a tyrannical boss. And even if I only keep the job a year or so, it'll be good to have some recent radio expereince.

Hey, still sounds positive

So that's what they were doing!

Yep. The guy I'd be replacing has a LOT more expereince than I do. So I could work there for a low wage, then ask for more money in a year or so. Plus I'll be asking for full benefits...insurance, bus pass and that sort of thing.

Indeedy, get yourself down there :)

Damn cool--Hope it works out.

And just an idea--when I had to put together the office character/costume, I got most of it at thrift stores. It took a fair bit of shopping, true, but it was cheap and when I was done temping, I could get rid of most of it without a qualm. And I kept the best of it for interviews and the unforeseen.

Right on, thanks.
