My last update on the job I want was that they hoped to have final approval before today. The key word being “hoped.”
Every day this week on my breaks I’ve gone outside – there’s no cell reception inside – to check my voicemail. Monday and yesterday, I had nothing all day.
The first time I checked this morning, that trend continued.
However, the second time I checked I heard, “You have one new message,” and my heart skipped a beat.
Turns out it should have kept beating. It was just someone from the contracting company I’m working for calling to introduce himself, as he is going to be my new point of contact.
I was really hoping the call would come today, given that it was the last day of classroom training, meaning that tomorrow we’ll be out on the floor doing actual work.
I’ve decided that if/when I get the job offer I’m just going to bail on this one immediately. I really don’t see the point of sticking it out. Sure, I’d get paid for my time, but I’m not really hurting for money right now and I’d honestly just be wasting my time and theirs by hanging out and being pointlessly trained for a job I’m not actually going to do.
I left early today because I had an eye appointment. Though my initial results were so encouraging, and while things are still going well, there was such a drop in my vision from yesterday to today (last night was my night off for wearing the contacts) that the eye doctor decided I should go with the standard five nights on, one night off pattern rather than the three on, one off.
I can still see better within my bubble of clear vision and don't need my glasses for things like using the computer, but the range is considerably shorter than it was just yesterday, so that’s probably for the best.
And that was pretty much my day. I had fewer distracting thoughts about Carla Gugino, which, I suppose, is a good thing
