On the job again...

Good Morning my Sister Crones,


Many of you know...I have a new job. It doesn't eek into my daily life too much, but currently I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things with working.

I'm currently on 'temp' status and supposed to work 39 hrs a week, but because it's not 'busy' right now, I'm training and when there are more people in the office then they need, I am cut from the roster for the day. I'm all cool with it for the most part, but then again, I'll never finish my training it seems and it sure does cut into the paycheck.

The cool things about the job:
I'm allowed to get up from my desk when I want, go outside and grab a cig when I want, sew, read and do whatever as long as I answer the phone when it rings or at least have someone covering it for me while I'm 'gone from my desk'. The boss lady encouraged bringing things to do 'besides answering the phones' since they don't ring on a constant basis. There's a full kitchen and we cook occasionally, can bring in whatever we want to store there for our use or to put in the fridge..etc, etc. It's kinda like being at home. There's even a t.v.
It's a pretty laid back place to work and so far (nearing the end of my first 4 weeks) I'm liking the job. It's all good.

The not cool things about the job:
Being cut during the training time because it's slow (key was to get trained before it gets busy..well, that's not happening if I'm cut too much now is it?)
Semi-low pay till I'm hired in on a permanent basis. Right now, I'm only making 8$ an hour. Better then no dollars an hour I know, and when I'm hired on permanently that rate will go to 9.50$ an hour, but that could take up to a year. HOWEVER..that being said..the work is easy for that pay. I'm in an air conditioned office will all the kudos mentioned above. Can't ask for too much pay for that type of job.

I think I burned my nose hair off yesterday. Yep..at least on one nostril. While lighting a cig I bent over a little to far, the flame went a little higher then expected and I had the distinct odor of 'burnt hair' rush me. I checked my eyelashes and they were still intact ..so..had to be the nose hair. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing!
Hmmf..me and fire. I must say we have a relationship!

Dementor and I are on better standings lately..know why? Cuz he went to the doc..and the doc said 'your fucked up..you need medication'..and said doctor put Dementor on medication, mainly for depression. The man I married is back. He now smiles, makes jokes, enjoys life and seems generally all around happy. It's such a change from the past two years sometimes I just can't believe it. Hey..better living through pharmaceuticals in his case..(and mine) Ohh yes!

Of course, never fear, he's still male and as we all know..males have their glitches. Like an aversion to cleaning the toilet that they use (and only they use) and or the bathroom sick (only their sink) ..you know, the basic 'man stuff'. That's all still there and of course, I'll never rid myself of that..unless I rid myself of Dementor. I do hate it that men cannot seem to 'see' what needs to be done or assume that 'someone else' (namely 'wifey') will tend to it because it's either beneath them or 'not their job'. as if life came with 'job descriptions ya know. WTF?


What can I say..it's a life..a married life and with that comes the bullshit we have to put up with from each other. Sometimes I bitch, sometimes I don't.

Either way, I wanted to put an update here just to say 'hey! I haven't forgotten, life just got in the way and I'm working on it, I'll be back with weekly or even daily updates soon enough!'

Till then..have a great end of summer time! I'm loving it!

The Crone of 'new beginnings'..
