They giveth and they taketh
I went down to the cities for training today only to be informed that I do not have adequate computer skills and need not return to training. I was surprised about the call, but kinda ok with it also as it sounds like something I probably wouldn't like anyway. It would have looked good on my resume but that's ok. We were told it is a two month position with no chance of turning into anything permanent. The drive down went very well. Flew right down. The drive back sucked. Probably about 2 1/2 or 3 hours. Ish. And hot! My air only works for a short time and the temp guage goes up so I didn't chance it driving all that way. I could just see me stranded on the side of the road with a hot car. I am trying to baby it a little cause I just turned it over to 222,222 miles last week. I was a little worried driving it down there but it ran good. It does run pretty good, but I don't usually go very far. I wasn't sure what was gonna happen on the long drive but it made it down and back. Anyway, I will be glad to call Tammy (the scheduler) tomoro morning and let her know I am staying. She will be glad, as will the residents. I seriously don't think I could have lived up to the standards and demands to this scanning job. So I am really ok with the fact that it didn't work out for me. Better this way than to start the job and totally suck at it. It wasn't meant to be I guess. The whole process was kinda screwey from the get go anyway. The temp agency was kinda trying to talk me out of it because it was a paycut. I thought that was kinda wierd but I wanted to try it anyway. Oh well. Back to the nursing home I go. I reached my next level there so I will be bumped another .50 an hour. This temp job would have been about 11.50, which is over 2.00 less than the nursing home.That's another reason I'm ok with it not working out. I thought it was kind of silly for me to take a paycut when I just got my pay straightened out but I figured it would only be a couple months and it would be good experience. I'm babbling so I will sign off. I just wanted to update everyone on the job status. Yap at ya all later.
