May. 18th, 2009 05:48 pmDid a little more tinkering with my page here today. I like how it's looking! But I wish I had better skills. Maybe I'll try my hand at something this weekend.
First day of New Employee Orientation was today, which is funny considering I've been at my job for 9 months. But it was great! Breaks frequently, and we even got out early! So much better than being at work site, there are just no words. A bunch of stuff was covered, including a huge segment on my benefits, most of which I already knew. But it was nice to find out some of the things I'd been too brain dead to retain when I saw my benefits guy back in August.
The highlight was seeing Jonathan, a former co-worker who got a job in Oakland but was hanging around the conference center. Said he was in town to take a final. Was nice to see him, though it was just for a couple minutes.
It was funny, because when I first saw him, he was running at some distance away from me, and I almost texted Stephanie telling her I'd just seen her guy, but it couldn't have been him because he was working in Oakland. And then it turned out it was him. xD
Have to prepare for the interview tomorrow. Need to dig out my typing cert, and maybe photocopy my last evaluation at work. Will probably call my Aunt, because I didn't talk to her this weekend.
Am already nervous, and I still have at least 12 hours to go before it happens. *sigh*

Right now I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do.
One of the plans is to make a layout more unique... might break out an old copy of Photoshop and see what I can do with my oh so rusty html skills. Might get some advice from a few old friends with blog making experience. If I had a little spare cash, I'd see about commisioning a layout. But I do not (and am not yet that desperate).
In the meantime, there are a couple things this week that have me a bit nervous. The first, is that my husband has some of his family arriving and staying for a few days. They're over from Australia, and are actually already here in the US. But right now they're staying with his Aunt, and are supposed to be staying with us on Wednesday. The second, is that I have an interview for a promotion Tuesday morning.
I am so nervous about this interview. One of my aunts put in a good word for me, and one of her friends might be on the hiring panel. But if I don't do well on the interview, I might not get it. It's not a sure thing, it's just a really good chance. And I want this promotion so bad! I'm so tired of where I am... tired of the filthy files, tired of all the small injustices, tired of feeling like we're the cutoff bastard children no one really likes. Tired of stressing over my unit.
I mean, I'll have to say goodbye to wearing jeans and flipflops at work, but it's totally worth it!
So I'm crossing my fingers.
