Job part the third

judecorpYeah, so the Assistant Director did indeed call me back yesterday afternoon, and he told me that he hasn't been able to find anyone at the FBI that can say why everything is taking so long, but of course it is all blamed on September 11th. Oooookay. So he said that he thought it was ridiculous that I hadn't started yet, and that he was going to talk to Human Resources about whether I can start without the fingerprints, since I've had to wait so long and if something was going to come up, it would have come up by now. He said he would make sure someone got back to me by the end of the week, because he was hoping I could start on Monday.
And then he said, "If you don't hear from anyone, call me personally on Friday." We talked some more, and when we were getting off the phone, he said, "Don't forget about Friday. Talk to me on Friday." At least there is one seemingly-competent person in that building, which heartens me somewhat. I might be working on Monday. Monday! That is CRAZY! I think I've forgotten HOW to go to work - what do I wear? What do I have to do?
Sean and I were totally boggling about this phenomenon called "work."
Sean and I ran into my former coworker Jenise at the Drexel last night, when we were waiting for The Magdalene Sisters. (The movie was incredible.) She saved us from the crazy old lady that kept talking to us, and thankfully wasn't in our movie. Of course, the older couple behind us who talked loudly through the entire movie more than made up for her. It was like watching a movie with my grandparents. (p.s. Nora-Jane Noone is so hot.)
Laundry: check. Bathroom: check. Next up: Dishes, cat boxes, and garbage.

Date: 2003-09-16 08:29 am (UTC)1) Try to practice getting up early -- it'll make the first week back a lot easier. That totally kicked my butt cause I got so used to staying up late and sleeping through most of the morning
2) Ummm, that was the main one. Maybe make fun lunch plans for one of the days so you'll have something fun to look foward to in what is usually a dull first couple days.
3) Wear something relatively clean and as free of cat hair as possible? :)
Re: Hints for going back to work
Date: 2003-09-16 09:20 am (UTC)Throughout my unemployment, I have kept Jennifer's sleep/wake schedule (for the most part). So I tend to go to bed when she does, or a little later, but I get up when she gets up, and I'm usually out of bed by 9am.
The hard part, though, will be getting up and actually having to get ready and go! Right now, I get up, read for a little bit, check email, and start cleaning the house.
Lunch date is a good idea!

I love bargain night!
Date: 2003-09-16 09:22 am (UTC)Most of the movie is violence-free.
