Random babbling


Don't know how much longer my good-paying assignment at the insurance company will last as things are slowing down. I'd like to think I can keep my current "job" at least through the end of the year.  My father is worried that his hours may be cut to four days a week at the factory where he works.  Guh.  The economy is tough all around.  Are the rest of you doing okay, job-wise? 

My legs look like I've been hiking naked through the thorns.  I haven't, I assure you.  Rather, I have a spastic kitten in the house, and she has sharp claws and a propensity for trying to scale me like a tree.  Yowch!

I napped earlier.  I meant to sleep about half an hour.  Instead, I slept two hours.  What the...?  I guess I needed the sleep, but it didn't help me in my quest to get caught up with online things.  Curses. 

Have a happy hump day, everyone!

No need to worry on my work, at least for a while I guess. I work at a grocery store and people will always buy food, I think?

And yey for kittens! They are so cute and cuddly, but they do have sharp claws. Let's hope that this isn't lasting situation and she won't mix you for a tree for much longer.

She wants to jump up on my lap all the time, too, and then she slides off, and...ouch!

Times are tough everywhere. Scary stuff.

My company is plotting to open more offices and get more jobs available next April, so I don't think I'm in danger anytime soon.

Maybe you should look around and see if there's an office near you?

That's fantastic news for you. What is the company, if you don't mind putting it out here?

Not at all! The company is called Vector Marketing, and it's a sales job, but we're doing awesome right now, despite the economic crises. So well, that we've decided to up the pay in certain areas for the holidays!

Even if you aren't a student, you can go to www.workforstudents.com (http://www.workforstudents.com) and fill out an application, and then someone in your area - like me! lol - will call and give you some more info on the job.
