Good and bad news...

What an interesting day...

I kinda sorta got fired and got an email with kinda almost maybe good news about a job.

I had to give my one job an unofficial resignation a week and a half ago because they were planning their annual out-of-town retreat/meeting. Well it's in New Orleans and after a couple of days of playing innocent and putting it off, I finally had to tell the second boss lady that they should not buy me a plane ticket  because I didn't know if I'd still be there at the end of September, and I certainly have no intention of being there for the rest of the year. This was a courtesy. I didn't have to mention anything, but I'm too honest.

That week the head boss lady was out of the office recuperating from a face lift, which is why I had to tell the other lady. I couldn't give her any specifics about anything since I don't have any, but I was very honest and told her I could not keep working 7 days a week without health insurance (mine is up at the end of the month!). So today, the boss lady called me in and in a pretty nice way told me that if I wasn't gonna be around next year, then they should not waste money "training" me and that my last day should be the end of the month. Well, they're not "training" me as it is...I'm scanning and filing right now, for $11 an hour. So that's it. I guess that's me getting "fired" for being nice and telling them I might not be around much longer, even though I haven't given them a two week notice officially.

On a happier note, not 10 minutes before I went into her office, I got an email from a job in Virginia that I had had a phone interview with telling me that they were seriously pursuing my candidacy for the job and would be contacting my references. Well, I know they've already contacted my references because my references told me! I obviously have no idea how many people they're "seriously pursuing" but it still sounds promising. Of course, I believe the next step is an on-campus interview, but I will take it! Especially if they are paying...it'd be like a beach vacation since this job happens to be on the beach! Holla!

So a little good and a little bad...or maybe not so bad? Now I have to figure out what I'm doing once the end of August hits since I lose my house, my insurance and my main job...that's in 14 days!
