Now maybe it’s just because I just started Monday, and maybe it’s just because I’ve been out of work since MARCH that anything would be good, and maybe there are bits I’ll end up hating, and maybe I’ll get jaded after a while, but so far even the boring stuff is fun.
The thing is, I’m doing a job that actually helps people - I’m not just making a buck. And that by itself makes me think I’ll never get tired of this job.
I have never had a more rewarding or interesting job in my life. The other people in the office are SO nice it’s almost frightening. Today I asked if there was a spare chair I could have in my area (because I’ll eventually start seeing clients) and they said “Oh, you can just take one from the break room - we can bring our own chairs from our offices.”
:eek:
I about had to put the beat down on the person who suggested it to make her stop.
Yesterday I idly wondered if there was a corkboard in the building someplace, which led to a 1/2 hour search by four different people. This morning the whole office helped me rearrange my furniture. And gave me real live plants! To grow in front of my real live windows!
And this is just the big stuff - you wouldn’t believe all the little stuff they’re doing for me. [sub](I’ve actually decided I’m never going to ask for anything ever again…they’re bending over backwards so far I’m afraid their spines are going to snap. I was talking about this today with another person from a different department while on a smoke break and we’re torn: Are they so nice because of what they do, or does their niceness just naturally lead to that line of work? As a temp I’ve worked in a lot of different places and each one has at least one back-stabbing self-aggrandizing witch/asshole, but so far I haven’t seen even an inkling of a sign.)[/sub]
Incredible.
Anyhow. I’m working for this organization, specifically for the EAP program.
News so good that makes me wanna do cartwheels and backflips…you know there’s gotta be a catch, right?
Right.
Seasonal.
So any vibes/karma/thoughts/(hell, I’ll even take) prayers you wanna send my way to the effect of ‘fund another full time position’, I’ll take 'em.
I am so freakin’ lucky right now.
