Job get! (original) (raw)

So I got a job. But not the job that I mentioned in my last post. I still haven't heard back about that one. Which is probably not a good sign.

What I got is a 4 week temp job for a company called Wingspan Technology that I only applied for yesterday morning. Within an hour of applying, I got a phone calling saying "You can start at 8:30 tomorrow." Didn't even have to interview, which is pretty nifty. Got to the place this morning, and I was like "Whoa, Deja Vu.' Turns out that I had interviewed with them for a different job a few years ago, and forgotten their name. Haven't asked if that interview is the reason I didn't have to interview this time, but that seems unlikely. They didn't give any indication they remembered me. Anyway, the job is decent. The pay's not great, but it's fairly easy work.

Crazily enough, this job is less than a block away from the place I worked last. Which was right across the street from the job I had before THAT. 3 jobs in a row less than a block away from each other. Bizarre.

Still hoping to hear back about the other job, though. They haven't turned me down yet, so there's still hope, however slim. It's full time and permanent and pays twice as much as the one I have now. And it offers benefits, which this job doesn't. So keep your appendages crossed for me. Or pray, if you're so inclined. I could still use it.
