So, about a month ago now, I had what was possibly The Worst/Best Interview of My Life.
I had applied at this place (which turned out to be a temp agency) for a data entry job. They called me, said actually the job is like an hour away from you, how 'bout we put you in for this work-at-home job instead.
I said sure, and went in for an interview. See the above link.
( Cue backstory of the runaround. )
And for the past week, I've been in training to work at a call center. It's through the temp agency, which ... I don't know that I like them. I'm really leery of how reliable they are when they never respond to me (There were also issues with time cards, and I was not the only one they weren't answering), and they're just ... flakey? The company they hired me to work at seems a lot nicer though, and the trainers have all assured us it's a great place to be.
As for the job itself, ( my feelings on it are mixed. )
I'm working in the mornings again, which means I have about three and a half hours after I get home to eat dinner and relax before I have to sleep. (Seriously: if you see me on YahooMessenger after 9:00 Central US, tell me to get the hell to bed. I haven't managed it yet. x.x) I have Saturday and Sunday off, which is both pleasant and inconvenient, as I kind of enjoy not working on weekdays. It makes getting things done easier. But I do get Sundays off with Shi-chan, which is good, because otherwise we'd never see each other. I should switch to a mid-morning shift in three more weeks, which will hopefully be easier to work with.
In the meantime, I'm still not sure how this is going to work out, but I'm doing my best to be patient with it. I'll hope for the best, and try to stay positive. I suppose we'll see.
