offbalance...is what I feel like I had today. Total whirlwind.
Went to temp agency. Was offered job before I was properly settled into a seat with my counselor. It's temp, but long term (10 weeks?) and pays $13/hr. also:
I GET TO PLAY WITH SHOES!!
This assignment starts on the 22nd and runs into october, and is at Sam & Libby, on 58th & 5th in Manhattan. (Across the street from The Plaza Hotel, around the corner from Bergdorf's, and my train stop is near Carnegie Hall, and the Carnegie deli!) *squealing* The people (whom I met today) seem incredibly nice and seem to like me muchly. So it seems ideal, after speaking to them in depth about the position.
However...this might cause some difficulties with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hermionesviolin coming to town on the 30th. Though she is still welcome, I can't play tour guide any longer. Working 9-5 M-F would put a cramp in that. But as I needed money, the job was the only answer, even a temporary one.
and oh, to be that close to soo many shoes.....
also, this both amused and disturbed me. Do I really talk that much? (and if so, how annoying am I?) :

Date: 2002-07-11 06:15 pm (UTC)The 30th is the day i'm arriving -- the day of the concert. For some silly reason i was reading "the 30th and the 1st" as the 2 full days that i'll by in NYC. Anyway, that means it has to be the 1st.
I barely even know what movies are playing right now (nevermind what will be playing August 1st), so Sharon and i will have to consult.
Yay vegan restaurants, though.

"LJ, the improved conference call." Indeed.

Consider me told.
Date: 2002-07-11 05:55 pm (UTC)And yes, much though i was (cautiously, since i was, for your sake, hoping you would have a job) looking forward to the Sharon Tour, poking around on one's own is quite fun. Though it's also nice to have a native show one around.

Re: Consider me told.
Date: 2002-07-12 07:39 pm (UTC)And the inclusion of Laura could be quite good. I'll be in touch with her once i'm back from vacation since i will soon be Internet-less (yes, i think i really mean it this time).
Re: Consider me told.
Date: 2002-07-13 08:03 am (UTC)But it's probably for the best - Laura's schedule is a bit fluid right now, so I'll talk to her and see what she's up to. But I have a feeling you two would get along.

Date: 2002-07-12 06:34 pm (UTC)Now, as someone who has had a long term temp gig, how does jobhunting work? Do you just keep at it and keep quiet and try to schedule interviews around it, or do you wait until the assignment is over? This is supposed to end in october.
and yes to getting together! that would be lovely!
