Temp work acquired!

I'm covering at a family practice clinic for a nurse manager who is going out on maternity leave. I start tomorrow.

Yay paperwork and paychecks! If I really wow 'em I might get hired on permanently somewhere in the rest of the sprawling network of sites.

It's a job for now, and I can't complain. Agency guy said 3-5 months, person interviewing said 6-8 weeks, it will all settle out eventually.

FLT: I will be spending the yuletide with family. There will be presents and much food. New Year's Eve we're having a party. I'm thinking jambalaya...

Mhmm... I'm also finding that to be the case. Programming is good on the whole, I'm enjoying it, but it does make me want to rip my hair out at times. So it's just as well I don't have any to rip out now.

Actually ripping it out is much harder than you might think...

I will be spending my yuletide working, for the most part. Also, applying for grants, scholarships, and federal aide so I can stop working and focus on classes. Possibly classes at a university. Possibly in engineering. I haven't made up my mind yet. Need to go talk to the folks at CO State, one of the many things I've been procrastinating.
...I feel relaxed today for the first time in such a long time. I don't want to do things that might damage my calm. I should really get to work on some of this stuff, though.

Yay for paychecks! Yay for babies! Yaaaaay for chocolate truffles!

Hey all,

crazy week last week, highlight of which was a fourteen hour workday with six hours of driving.

I'm only just getting over the damn things.

So how we all doing?

Yay for jobs SR, hope it goes awesome.

Sounds tough PR, I'm still procrastinating about a career lol, that's why I'm studying part time, which whilst hard on spare time (causing stress when you have an condition exasperated by stress might not be the best idea) but at least the money stuff is taken care of.

I shall have to check out MsA's cute baby picks, I'm sure he's gourgeous.

Plans for holidays is that I have nearly two weeks off thanks to factory closing and use it or loose it holiday so relaxing, going to other half's family and do Christmas with niece and nephew (small kids at Christmas rule!).

Now, I'm sure I'm missing other people but have to jump in shower, slip in some washing up and hopefully some physics.

*magics up a round of drinks for everyone and puts them in stasis*

Yus, Kitten, I have given consideration to following in your noble footsteps, light and subtle as they are. If you have any advice on the subject, it would be most welcome.
The graphic arts door is still open, but I'm re-evaluating my desire to go through it. Still trying to figure it all out. Big surprise, I'm nearly 25 and not sure what I want to be when I grow up...
I've also considered linguistics, but I'm far more interested in the idea of making stuff, much as I might adore language. I likes to create.

PR: Just to let you know...most engineering requires lots of math (at least 2+ years of calculus), calculus-level physics, and other assorted "fun" stuff. This isn't to discourage you -- because if you do decide to go into that field, more power to you -- but to give a fair heads up. (Besides, what other major has the students declaring a "physics and geometry study period" -- with everyone then going to play pool?)
...and yes, I'd tell this to any/all of my students I worked/work with.

SR: Yays on the temp job. Fingers crossed that this works out and it's a place you enjoy working at and they decide they want you to stay...
(I vote muffins or cookies for boychild to learn next btw...)
The cajun food sounds yummy -- now if there were only some way to try some w/out bell peppers (I iz allergic to them...yep, I'm one of two people I know who are allergic to them, and one of three that I've heard about.)

FLT: Christmas day, not sure...couple of get-togethers before then, and definitely lots of stuff to do before New Year's (that's the Hawaii/Asian in me...New Year's is important. Lots of cleaning and prepping, and celebrating on the eve and day of...)

Yay Roxy on teh Bar-and-Grill creation.

Yay it's Neko and HK HUGS

Rose...engineers make money, real cashy money (HK remember I am a teacher so I'm impressed with any paycheck greater than 3 places before the decimal)

I'm well aware that engineering requires calculus and physics. My grandfather was a physicist, inventor, and engineer. To him, math was a language and an art. I've been thinking I'm at a point where I can see it and learn it that way, or I would never consider the field.
I would like a paycheck greater than three digits. That'd make me a happy panda.
