I can has JOB!!!
It's a part-time thing, just twenty hours a week, but it pays more per hour than I was making at the smoke shop (to say nothing of what I made at Not the IRS) and it turns out to be more receptionist than data entry. Basically I will be staffing the front desk of a sort of... medical-ish community outreach agency, about which I can't say much because of privacy regulations. The job involves answering phones (and probably placing calls), scheduling appointments, checking in appointments, managing payments and receipts, and maintaining records.
I start tomorrow afternoon.
...
I think I am a little in shock at how sudden this is. I mean, I am still catching a bus down to NJ on Friday to see Susan (sort of a "neither of us will be in Madison for your actual birthday so let's party early" visit) and pick up my parents' spare car so I can do my flash house-sitting routine over the next couple months, but I will work three days this week and then next week I'll be working four hours a day, five days a week. Each day is a little different, but I think it's a regular irregular schedule, if that makes sense? So I will be able to schedule other stuff around it.
And that reminds me that I need to apply for the Not the IRS training course so I can do actual tax work instead of just receptionist work in 2016.
I also still need another part-time job, because rent and grocery bills don't pay themselves, but hey. Progress!
(And on a semi-related note, part of my internet bill is now covered by renting out the back half of my driveway to Upstairs Neighbors E and T as long-term pickup truck storage. I cashed their August check today. *grin*)
