Finally...

Planetdre...HAS COME BACK TO EMPLOYMENT!!

IF YA SMELL...ok, enough of my brutally bad impersonation of the Rock...

And besides, it's only a temp job. And I didn't think I had it after the three hours of Microsoft Excel and Word testing I endured. I have virtually no experience with Excel, and some of the things they wanted me to do with Word I had never done before. But the main test was my typing test, and that came out 51 WPM with one mistake, which was good enough for the lady handling my case. So starting Wednesday, from 8:30A to 5:00P, I'm doing a data entry gig at a place eerily close to my old job. This job agency that I went to for the job, as I said yesterday, is located about three blocks from the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The actual gig is only two blocks away from CBOE. Scary, I'll be able to visit all of my old favorite lunch places. And I'll be able to have lunch with Cassandra if she's able to. I can spend an hour a day in person listening to the excuses why she can't give me the money she owes me. Yippee. The gig ends around January according to the lady at the job agency, but I'll find out all the details for myself Wednesday.

With all that taking place today, I didn't have time to find out the status of my financial aid at Harold Washington College, so I will now saunter into the first day of the fall semester having not paid for my classes. Hey, if it wasn't for drama, I wouldn't have any fun in my life. What will happen with school? How will the new job work out? And how much money will I have to spend on new dress shirts because my belly has outgrown most of my old ones??? Stay tuned...
