So far, so good. They really are all about the slow ramp-up, which I guess is good. I finally have a project to work on, but it's small and not due for a month! But I'm starting to meet people and etc....
Oh, this is kind of funny: there was a job that I had applied for a while back because it sounded really interesting, but I wasn't necessarily qualified. I didn't hear anything until last week when they emailed me that they had hired someone else. I learned from the in-house newsletter yesterday that the person they hired came from my new org! A different department, though.
Funny. When I took my current job a few years ago, there was another person hired into the same role a couple of months later, and we figured out in conversation that she had actually interviewed for my old job in the interim. (Her instincts were a lot better than mine though, since she ran away screaming while I suffered through that lunatic place for three years.)
Observation: the cat has breakfasted on a huge mound of asparagus stems and is now passed out cold on the kitchen counter.
Analysis: cats is weird.
Fay, glad to hear you're okay. I was thinking about you when I heard the news this am.
Yikes, Fay! Way-less-excitement-ma for you.
Yikes, Fay! Stay safe. And electrified....
(Her instincts were a lot better than mine though, since she ran away screaming while I suffered through that lunatic place for three years.)
Heh.
I interviewed for a job in the publications office of the University and while I was interviewing, my interviewer received a call that was obviously about the job I was interviewing for.
The person on the phone got the job, but then I interviewed for and got her old job, which was my first job here.
Stay safe, Fay. That's not a comfortable situation to be in.
