It is official, I got the job!! I start full time on Monday. They told me yesterday, but couldn't announce it until everything was settled with HR today. My boss sent out an email to the whole office, and a lot of people responded with "Congrats!". I wanted to send out an email saying Thank You to everyone, and that I was excited to be a permanent part of the team... however I wasn't quite sure how to word it. I tried multiple times to create something, and felt like I was wasting time. I then decided to think about it while working. I subsequently continued working, but stopped thinking. I remembered again towards the end of the day when it had been hours since I received any email and I thought it would be silly to bring the matter up again. I'm sure everyone had forgotten about it by then! I said thank you to everyone who said congrats in person.... I just kind of ignored the emails. I just didn't want to sound stupid right after announcing that I was part of the team! Instead I just seemed shy or impolite or I don't know. I don't think its mandatory to say something, but I know if I were more extroverted, I would. Good thing is is that my boss knows that I am not extroverted, so its not like I surprised anyone, right?
They have also been talking about giving me more duties since I will be there more often. Only problem with that is that I currently have 30 hrs of work per week, and I am taking on a coworkers 20 hrs per week. I figured this would keep me plenty busy, but I will be adding even more. I like it though, I love being busy! I just hope the stress doesn't kill me! :)
I have been waiting to find an apartment until I got everything settled with work. Only problem with that: lots of the best studios are taken!!! I should have figured this would happened, had more faith in the fact that I would get the job and just signed a lease. Now I have to scramble to find something that is still "perfect" (I don't want to move again any time soon!). My plan is to look carefully this week, prepare all necessary documents and go turn them in on Saturday. I really hope that I can find something good. I'll keep you updated on that!
In other news, now that I have stable employment, I have to figure out how to take time off! I want to work 4 10s instead of 5 8s this summer if possible, and I also want to take off a day for Memorial Day weekend (would want to do 4 10s then if possible..), take off my Birthday (Anna comes home!) and do a funky 4 10 week so that I can have 1 two day weekend and 1 four day weekend for camping. I hope they don't regret hiring me!
I'll write a post about last weekend later, because it was a good one. But now I should go research apartments. It just stresses me out... I want the perfect place - balcony instead of patio, W/D in unit, maximum sqft, minimum price, sleeping nook, perfect location.... Do you think I can do it!?
