70 rides sitting backward on a merry go round...

...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 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?) :

I'll be a sales/showroom assistant. Mostly reception, but I'm in charge of sending shoes out and recieving the packages they come in, and keeping track/setting up the showroom.

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!
