an RL update and a meme
Apr. 14th, 2006 09:00 pmI was praised by my supervisor today. She had been checking my work for the last week, pointing out errors - and today the only one she had to mention was actually her own error, not mine. She thought I had skipped a certain document while scanning - while in fact there were two identical copies in the file (though they looked different at a first glance). She didn't actually notice they were identical - but I did. She seemed impressed.:)
Yeah, you have to be an absolute anal freak to perform well at a job like that. And I am.;D
So, I think there is actually a chance I might stay there for longer than three months. In fact, there is another woman there from the same agency as me, also on temporary status, who has already been working there a year. And she told me that the agency "kept her busy" for the previous two years as well.
That means that even if they don't hire me permanently, the agency is likely to find me another similar job pretty soon after this assignment is over. Which is a comforting thought, of course. Especially that if you keep working for the same agency for many months, you finally earn certain benefits. Like a paid vacation... or health insurance. I have none at the moment, and I could really use a chiropractic (or a good massage... lol). My spine is seriously fucked from sitting at a desk most of the time...
Anyway... change of topic. This meme has been all over my flist, and I couldn't resist the temptation to join in.:)
001. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
002. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal.
003. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
004. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
005. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
I have been asked some interesting questions by
carynita (who used to be Melacita not so long ago :D). ( Here they are - with the answers, of course.;) )
