i'm wrapping up week 1 of work now. here's the deal for you uninitiated: i'm working 3 days a week at the ICC (interchurch center) as an office assistant. my job: filing. i take old messy files and refile them according to a new system. the new system is mostly made up by me, so that's kind of fun. and some of the grant information is pretty interesting. but, reading this stuff for longer than 1 hour straight makes your brain hurt. eh, it's money.

i'm here TWF, 9-5, with an hour for lunch, so i'm working 21 hours a week here. i came in 2 hours this week on monday, whatever, so i got 23 hrs, at 11.50 an hour, so i made 264.50 this week. not too bad considering i get to sit in a nice office with computer access and AC. that's really not bad when you consider my other job is paying me $50 a week. terrible...

the food here is also pretty good. today i got a pastrami reuben sandwich and mashed potatoes for 3.89 (after tax)! it was soooo good, too. man, that's a good deal. and my boss is really nice. so far i've been caught napping, writing email, and browsing the internet one time each and she only said something about the napping. and i wear a button down or a polo with shorts and sneakers to work and that seems to be fine. at least, no one has complained yet.

my other job is going pretty slow right now. we finally just got our lab station set up and our cisl accounts (for hspice) created yesterday. so far we've just stared at the circuit diagram trying to understand it. jeez... $50 an hour. that's the bare minimum to cover us insurance wise for lab use and so on. oh well, it's better than nothing, i guess.

i really do want to blog more. weird, i just wrote blob instead of blog because of jess' creepy diary. anyways, for some reason, even though i want to blog, i don't, so that must mean i don't really want to, because if i did want to, i would. so maybe now that i'm sitting here in this office, i will blog, meaning i want to blog, which is why i am blogging right now. right?

hopefully this will continue.
