Yo-yo Week...

Okay, you ever have one of those weeks, when you're up and down so much, you start to get dizzy? I'm having one of those weeks.

Monday morning, I got into to work to find an email from one of the sales guys I work with. It was a forwarded email from a customer, giving me all kinds of kudos for helping her with an issue. Received all kinds of happiness from company high-ups about it. In addition, the company brought in "The Coffee Guy" who made lattes for everyone who wanted. I figured, great news, free sugared coffee, life was good. Should have known that it was Monday. Mid-way through the afternoon, I found out the permanent job I applied for a week ago Monday, I didn't get. Right back down.

Tuesday was, well, Tuesday.

Today, I found out from my boss that I was #2 on the list for the permenant job. Made me feel a little better, but I'm still a temp. I got a call from the HR person this afternoon, asking if I had time to meet with her quickly. They have a long-term temp position opening up, because of someone going on military leave. Read that as deployment. Anyway, they're offering the job to me. Didn't interview anyone else.

That would mean I don't have to take a week off, without pay, for every 90 days I work there as a temp. She's checking to see if there'd be a pay increase, vacation, benefits, etc. She thinks it means I'd be union, which I would think would mean I'd be a union employee, and subject to union pay rates. Also need to check with her to see if I could still apply for a permenant position if one became available.

So life is back up. I've got fingers, toes, and everything else!, crossed that it stays up.

I'll keep you posted!
