The Veterans hospital called me today and said they are hiring me for their summer job program !
They said they usually get students for this kind of job, but there are no age limits so I got in. I might get to be the Grand Dame of the group, we shall see. The job lasts for only 2 months, but it is 40 hours a week. 8 to 4:30. I was not exactly prepared for a full time job, I thought it was 20-30 hours a week. I must have read the paperwork wrong when I applied ! Anyway I said yes. I am not even sure what I am going to be doing over there. Some kind of clerical work. The lady I talked to said we would be going from department to department as we are needed. So we shall see.
I don’t have much time to stew about it either, because I am supposed to start day after tomorrow ! Eeeek !
The really good news is, that the hospital is exactly 4 miles from here. I can be there in 5 minutes in the car. I am so thankful for that. I do not enjoy driving on the freeway every day. I don’t have to go anywhere near the freeway for this job.
Finished my story, and I am going over it changing this and that a bit. I did use Dragon Naturally Speaking 6 to dictate what I had written, and by golly, the new version did a pretty good job. I was impressed. You still have to go back and fix things, but after all I was dictating a draft, so that’s to be expected.
Well, I better go now, I have plans to make. I need to get organized. And I only have one day to do it !
YeeeHaaaa!
