Thus far,
yokes1971 pwns j00.
Working from home yesterday, as alluded to in some conversations yesterday evening, I got about as much done as I do when I'm actually in the office, but still felt obscurely guilty.
Then I realized that I need to work for six weeks and not eat or pay bills to cover what the new a/c unit & heat pump cost. They make the financing look attractive ($80/mo for 60 months), but I think I'm going to try and pay off as much as possible during the six months the interest-free grace period lasts, and will probably roll it all over to a credit card or something with a less-heinous interest rate (um, 18%. . . no).
On the upside, the guys from Action A/C improved some of the, uh, 'work' the AGD did when they installed the ducts, and the new unit works quite nicely.
Strong and reliable rumors persist that I'll actually be hired as a real employee (N, the big boss, told me on the sly on Friday, and I got word yesterday from an unrelated source that there will be two ILD permanent positions, as opposed to the seasonal ones, to be filled by myself and Shaky). I'm looking forward to seeing the actual paperwork before I do too much jig dancing, but, still, it'll be nice to have insurance and stuff.
ETA: Just got the official word. The job will be posted, and I'll need to apply for it, but no other candidates will be considered. Uh, glee?
