Back to Work!

[viscousmemories]

I've received official word of a new job offer tonight - another contract position back where I was up 'til last August. It probably won't be as interesting or lucrative as the job offer I recently lost because of the credit check, but it will be more tech experience and very welcome income. I'm also going through a different agency so I'll be eligible for benefits in 30 days, which is cool. I should be starting next week, so enjoy me while I'm here.

Congrats vm! :shake:

Make the most of your remaining unemployment. :recline:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Game 'til your eyes bleed while you can! :cstrike:

And congratulations! :)

[Qingdai]

That's great! Money before the holidays, and benefits for contract work are as rare as hen's teeth.

[Caligulette]

Congratulations.

If these guys back out we'll send someone else to tend to their needs.












































Did I say needs? I meant knees.

I recently lost because of the credit check
They can fire you for having bad credit? :tmshockd:

Congrats, anyway.

[Clutch Munny]

Awesome, possum!

I shall do my best to enjoy you in the coming week. Though if I haven't figured out how after this long, I don't know what another week could do.

What?


Oh, and, um, congrats. [burp]

[Pan Narrans]

Ooo, congratulations your Viscosity! :party:

[Potato]

Congratulations! :)

(I was doing tech work for a contracting company that offered benefits after a month too. The benefits were awful but so much better than nothing at all.)

[viscousmemories]

They can fire you for having bad credit? :tmshockd:
Not fired, but job offer withdrawn when standard background check revealed bad credit history. One of the clients was the state lottery commission, so I guess they didn't want anyone on the inside who might be tempted to embezzle. Or something.

Congrats, anyway.
Thanks!

[Pinecone]

Yippee!!! :mememe:

(oh..and the chicken still ain't blue just incase you were worrying yourself sick over that ... it's ok, go make $$. We have learned to deal, even have grown eccentrically fond of our blueless chickeness.)

[Dingfod]

I don't know, if I could figure out how to get paid not to work, I'd much prefer that to actually working.

[Adam]

Sweet, congrats.

I never got why places did credit checks. They don't want to hire anyone who really needs the money? I don't believe my Aunt Sallie runs credit checks, but she won't hire you if you've ever defaulted on a student loan. I guess she doesn't want minions who are sympathetic to her victims?

You have to work, loser!

Congratulations vm! :badworker:

Hey! Get back to work before I give you a beating!

whatever the job is it's gotta be better than working for Kissell...

[curses]

Congrats, doughnut! Knock em dead. And you better hope :ff: doesn't break while you're away :glare:

[viscousmemories]

Tomorrow is the big day!

Unfortunately I was up all night (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14829) last night and slept all day today, so getting a good night's sleep before the first day of work tomorrow is not going to be easy. :doh:

Oh well, who works on their first day of work anyway?

[SharonDee]

Oh well, who works on their first day of work anyway?Nobody! You'll be doing the HR thing and the "look at the newbie" thing and the "here's where everything is" thing.

Man, I so don't envy you ...

Did I ever say congrats? I don't think I did. Congratulations, vm!

[Pendaric]

Good stuff vm. How long is this contract for?

[viscousmemories]

On paper it's for just under six months, but so was the last one and it ended up being about nine months (the max time they'll allow before a mandatory 100 day break). I'll be working under the same boss I had before, but I think doing different work. No doubt I'll know more after today.

[Deadlokd]

I can't believe it took me this long to read this. Sorry vm along with huge congratulations. Especially after the last job went south. Good on you, you deserve it.

[Smilin]

Congrats VM...

Welcome back to the working world! :ugh:
