I got a Job!

Good News! I got a job! Steve’s boss at webcoach.com has hired me on part-time as a web designer/assistant to Steve. I’m only working 10-15 hours a week right now, and technically, it’s only for 1-2 months, but the boss thinks there’s a good chance that he will get more sales and be able to bring me on full-time. I’m looking into other part-time jobs to supplement this, but I’m hoping it will work out to do this. I spend a great deal of my spare time working on websites with Steve, so why not get paid for it? Thanks again, Steve, for recommending me and sticking up for me!

Temp Work in Pendleton

Well, as of tomorrow, I’m off to Pendleton for a few days. What’s in Pendleton, you ask? [insert sarcastic comment about small town here] Ha ha ha! Seriously, though, there’s a DEQ office. Apparently the LAN Admin at this office quit recently, and while they’ve been trying to replace him, a backlog of work has built up to the point where they asked my dad to go over for a few days and try to get things running again. As this will mostly consist of installing new workstations, they’ll need some tech-chimps who are capable of following directions, so I’m tagging along.

I’m getting nervous about the possible job with Steve’s boss. I haven’t heard anything from him in about a week, and I’m afraid I let my hopes get up. It really would be the perfect job, and I know I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get it. So, even though the idea of spending a few days in Pendleton doesn’t exactly thrill me, it will let me get out and do something other than wait for a phone call or email.

Still Looking for Work

Nervousness. Still trying to get ahold of Steve’s boss to find out if I have a shot at a job. I’ve also got three applications in with the state of Oregon, one of which is a web designer job, but it’s in Salem, which means I’d have to move. That would suck, but the job pays well enough that I would do so if I got it. I’m also still awaiting word on the web design job Miles tried to set me up with. Apparently the design firm is still negotiating with the client about whether or not she wants to pay to have a web site, meaning they’d contract me to do it.

I’m sick of being out of work. It’s nice having lots of time to do things like learn PHP and work on new site designs, but this not-having-money stuff has got to end.
