Things not sucking for me right now: Jobs.
As of yesterday, I'm doing better than I thought. Working temp jobs this summer has been good for me in terms of making me less anal about having full-time work every damn day; I don't worry as much now as long as I'm not dipping into my savings account, and some extra free time has been nice. Still, I'm not happy when the money's not coming in. I thought my last day at this place was going to be Sunday, but I had a nice surprise.
Monday, I came in to get my time slip signed and E. asked me to stay another day since new full-time girl wasn't trained, then asked me to come back today as well. Today, I found out that she's getting a promotion and will be staying at her job, so that gives me at least another few days there.
Yesterday I also talked to D., the woman in charge (well, my contact, at least...they don't seem totally certain about what they want) of the brochure I'm being contracted to do for our school district. We talked, and I surprised myself by sounding very professional and knowledgable about how to go about this. (Boy did I fool THEM.) She's looking more for a newsletter-type format, which is fine with me...and it might be a quarterly thing, which would give me extra freelance portfolio-building work during the school year.
Say it with me, folks. WOO.
I've been glad that I'm not graduating next semester because I want to learn more as much as avoid this economy, but as time goes by I'm almost convinced that I won't be completely floundering when I do take my first baby steps into the real world.
