I Got A Job

You're now looking at a no-longer-unemployed bum. Yes, still a bum, but now employed. I start Monday — it's an ICT Technician position at a local school, supporting the computer equipment in the Science, Music and DT departments. It's part-time flexible hours, but that's cool because I can either get another part-time job (theoretically) or just waste two days a week fiddling with my website and crocheting more crap. :p

I should buy a McDonalds cheeseburger to celebrate or something.

    it's funny, because I woke up all of ten minutes ago, popped over here, and... tada! I have good luck :D (and I actually made a point of not commenting in your last entry so that I wouldn't be first)

    Yay for jobiness! What sort of hours will you be working? 9-5 type thing?

  6. Mi   March 15th, 2006 [gravatar]

    Yay! :D

  7. Jem   March 15th, 2006 [gravatar]

    No idea. As I said.. "It's part-time flexible hours" so I think I can make up my hours when I want. The nice lady on the phone suggested something like 6.5 hours Monday and Tuesday, and 6 on a Wednesday. Sounds workable!

    I would totally go for the cheeseburger if I were you. Is this new job at a high school? Eye contact with students might be a bad thing. o.o You'd get shot or something here. Which is funny, because nobody has guns at our school. (Usually?) Sorry, I'm just exercising my retardedness. :) Congrats on the job!

  21. Manon   March 15th, 2006 [gravatar]

    Jem, working in the same building as /children/? Parents better watch out, don't want you lifting any kid to auction on e-Bay for a bit of extra change ;) (PS - If anyone who is doing a check on Jem's background site stuff sees this, I am TOTALLY joking. I swear. Seriously.)

  26. Carly   March 16th, 2006 [gravatar]

  27. Fel   March 16th, 2006 [gravatar]

    Congrats jem! Nono! Don't buy a McDonald Cheeseburger, buy a McDonald's Yogurt Parfait it's way better, and it tastes better too!

  28. Elea   March 16th, 2006 [gravatar]

  29. Vera   March 16th, 2006 [gravatar]

You bet Im going to McDonalds after I quit this computer "class" that the employment office sent me to. Im going to have a McChicken burger! Okay, now Im drooling.

  36. Romy   March 18th, 2006 [gravatar]

    I'm late, I know, but I just wanted to give you my congrats, too. You're another step further towards world domination! :P Hope the cheeseburger was good, and that it did not give you Mad Cow Disease -- ain't nothin' worse than going stark raving bonkers on your first day at your new job. (That's why I have to work from home...)
