How many hours !?
Tue Jun 17 2003

Guess what chickens?

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!

    I was getting a little worried about you. Your diary usually shows up a few minutes after 4pm.

    Well, congratulations on the job. You'll be able to manage the 4:30 quitting time since candle lighting is so late in the summer. And as organized as you are, Shabbat dinner will be on the table as usual, on time. But what's going to happen to deardiary?

    I'm looking forward to the story.

    Shalom.
