Work things happening and writing...
Jan. 28th, 2009 05:06 pmWork has been killer but really really good this week. We have been interviewing to hire student staff to cover our office so that I can be freed up to do the project work that has been coming my way. We posted the position and got very good resume. Narrowing that down to the five we wanted to see was easy but deciding on the final two, well that was tough. We finally figured out the two that we will have. It works out that we will have daily coverage M-F. Yahoo. I get to move location for more privacy and I will be supervising the student staff. So this is a very good thing. Yayus. Tomorrow I begin my list of "workstudy projects". I am sure it will be long.
Calling references tomorrow and on to the hiring thing. The really nice thing is that we have other student positions in the division so the applicants will be referred to other offices. All of them were good and smart candidates so I would refer them to different places with no problem.
I am hoping I get the workspace that I want. Right now it is occupied by a variety of part time staff and I have argued that such primo real estate should be given to full time staff who will make the best use of it as a work space. None of them are there the 40 hours I am so I think by all rights, that should go to me. One of the major blocks is this person *^#)$ who thinks she should get everything and her part timers have it now. The thing is...really. None of them work more than 8-10 hours a week...I think that full time staff should get the better deal. So I am gunning for that. I am letting my supervisor fight that fight for me though due to political reasons. I won't go head to head with this person. Nuh uh. Will see what she can do. She is very diplomatic and resourceful (supervisor) so I am guessing that she will get it. Fingers crossed here.
I will keep you posted.
Slashy Valentine Story Update
This is turning into a monster! It is over 6500 words and won't stop. Make it stop. I have an extension to the 13th and my beta is in place. Make it stop! The plot needs to turn to the denouement. And I need to get them cozy too, got to insert the slash. The charries really like to chatter away there and crack the jokes. IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR! :P Funny guys. I do like witty dialogue. So I am having fun with that. So keep a good thought for me there.
Look guys! An update. Whodathunkit?
