Slightly less interesting stuff
May. 13th, 2014 07:37 amI don't have anything as exciting as the opera to report about today.
( In which I talk about people not liking what I like. )
Aside from having people actively rain on my parade, I received some promising news at work yesterday. It turns out that another section wants me to come work overtime for them at least once a month. This will put a bit of a crimp in my schedule, but it will pretty much solve many of our financial problems, because a full twelve hour shift at double time is a significant amount of money. It's practically the same amount of money as if I picked up a part-time minimum wage job for 3-4 shifts a week. So at this point I'll just have to take the extra commute/travel time in the name of financial solvency. It's not a done deal yet, I'll only be hearing back for sure on Friday, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm also excited at the prospect of doing actual dispatch work again. I like my current job, but it's very technical and very text-based, and I don't get to talk to people very much anymore. It'll be nice to have a headset again and to work with my old dispatching software and deal with more immediate security concerns rather than worry about what level of classification my transmissions need. :)
Tonight I am going out with the lovel![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sultrysong. Plans are a little up in the air for now, but I'm hopeful that drinks might be involved.
