Huh - I'm almost positive that violates the contract they have with the agency (most temp agencies make big fat commissions on temp-to-perm hires), but probably works out for more money for you so yay!

I've worked there through the agency long enough that they can do that without violating the contract.

Oh, sweet!

Huzzzah, MM! Very good news, indeed.

Oh good, cause I was worrying about that too! Whew!

Grr. Stupid debt collector keeps calling my house, and it's a robocall, so I have to have a pen in hand, ready to write the number down to call them and say "Quit calling me, I am not Eric Hendrickson!". Usually they call while I'm asleep, so that doesn't work. Except the rassenfrassen help desk just called on my cellphone while I was waiting (pen in hand!) to write the debt number down. AGH.

Oh, meara, that's a real PITA. I've got some guy who's been giving out my work phone number as his contact # for the past few years and people (I think they're creditors) are calling for him at least once a month. I tell them that I don't know who this guy is, but I've had this number for thirteen years now, and I'm not him!

Yay, MM!

The cut looks great, Stephanie. I need a cut. I may take your picture with me. (For the cut, not as a security blanket, although that might work too.)

The dog is eating a pillow. It's an old pillow I put out when I was washing his bed, which I hoped would keep him from attempting to dig through the bottom of the bed. Not so much. He's making a giant pile of fuzz, and every time I throw some away, he fishes it back out of the trash. He seems to be making a nest.

Hope that works out MM! And with bonus Friday off, nice.

I have a large ponytail in a bag

It took me several moments to get past the Godfather flashbacks and the "but whose ponytail, and is it in there willingly?" disconnects.

Yes, just not through the temp agency. Which may lead to PERMANENT full-time stuff with BENEFITS.

Yay MM!!

Plus, we get to hear to ongoing "Fuckcake o' the day" report. It's a win win.

Will Miracleman finally go medieval on his phone's ass? Tune in tomorrow for our next exciting adventure!

I have a large ponytail in a bag

My hair was never cut until I was 13, when my father decided I was too old for long hair. Of course, long hair became hugely fashionable shortly after. My mother braided my hair every morning, and my hair went below my knees. It's possible that one reason I'm so inept at my hair is that I resented having hair that *I* had to take care of.

Anyway, some four decades later, my mother still has my pigtails in a plastic bag in the bottom drawer of the desk.
