[QUOTE="klmno, post: 383910, member: 3699"] LOL, DDD! Today was much better. It seems my work area might not be right under the boss's nose after all. That would just be too uncomfortable for me- especially since I feel so much pressure to make this job work and am just getting to know his personality. I'm used to working independently and having my own space so it would be a MAJOR change to feel like my boss was sitting over my shoulder all the time. The contract ends in one year and it might not get extended. I'm going to be working on building relationships with other people there to try to get good recommendations lined up for next year. Then I can reapply for a job similar to what I was trying to get last year and will have a much better chance. Everyone else seems to be pretty easy to talk to and I'm just keeping my antennae up re. boss to try and learn his characteristics better. I paid the water deposit today. I don't recall paying one like that in the area I just moved from but I sure hope I did and they send me a refund! I've got to just hang on until the first paycheck now. Shewww.... I can't believe I only interviewed with this company 2 weeks ago. difficult child was allowed to call last night. I'll go see him this weekend and pick a load up from the storage bin. He was transferred yesterday. I mentioned something about us both starting our lives over on the same day and that it was hard. He interrupted me and told me to hang in there, it can be done. Now, if he'll just make effort to turn his around.... My next challenge will be figuring out who I can call on to house sit and pet sit while traveling. And getting the company to pay expenses upfront- not food or gas, but plane tickets and hotel fees. There's no way I can get a CC right now with that kind of limit. And I need to make sure they pay on time. [/QUOTE]
