Job-ma and boss-in-good-mood-ma to you, Megan. I hope it goes well.

The description and slug look good to me. Thanks for doing it.

Today is a big decision-day. I've decided to look for a job as an actuarial student, as I mentioned before, but I haven't started actually looking. My EI will run out at the end of March (so I wasn't in a huge rush). Yesterday I got a phone call saying that someone at BIO had asked for me for a contract position working in Matlab (math software which I find quite fun). It would probably be from late November to the end of March. If I work that, then I would have EI left over for until the last week of May. Also at one actuarial consulting firm, they said they'd be hiring someone in the second quarter of next yea ( and they were really nice) so that would fill that in nicely.

I'm trying to decide if I should take it. I'm concerned about doing job-hunting while working, although my mother says she finds it easier when she has a job than when she doesn't. Obviously it would mean more money, and the guy who wants me to work for him is very nice and a good boss (very important after my last experience). In addition, the exam is offered in May and I wold be a much more attractive prospect as an actuarial student job-applicant if I'd already written the exam.

Whew! I've pretty much decided that I will take the job -- or at least find out more about it. I don't like big decisions. t /sulky

You know, it sounds like a good position for you 'Ouise. If nothing else, you can work and prepare for the exam, and put out feelers for jobs.

I got greedy and watched Angel on digital on Wednesday, and was kinda thinking I'd watch the repeat on Space last night (since I don't tape Angel anymore), but I was out. Sorry to hear that Space hosed you folks. I generally think very highly of Space. Did anyone email them to find out why they didn't air the ep?

Sounds mathy, Ouise!

Take the job, Ouise. Working for Matlab will look good on your resume and, like you say, having Part One of the actuarial examinations under your belt makes you a much better prospect.

Ouise, your description of the job and the boss sound like a nice fit for you. I'm inclined to join the crowd and say Go for it!

My boss has left for the day so no shit will be flying this afternoon. *sigh*

Aw, and you have your "I want you to leave me alone" shirt on. It would have been perfect.

Sue, I had another convo with the dude taking over immigration. He's going to work a deal with SD so that if she lets me go she won't lose the FTE. Likely I won't move over to the other side of the wall until December. Which means more job fair for me, at least for another month.

Not sure if he got a good look at my T-shirt or not.

She'll still be cranky about it, I'm sure. Maybe you should get her some crankypants...

Megan, you have to get out of your job. Ideally, you'd get out of the building, too. But at least you'll be in a better place.

I like the slug and the description. We should get a stomy to change it if Sue likes it too.
