Today was A REALLY GOOD DAY. The last couple of weeks (really, last few months) have sucked. My job is not a good fit for me. It's full of micromanagers, no repercussions, and crappy, crappy benefits. Mostly those benefits suck, because I am a contingent employee. But while I was in the IT office, my boss was wiling to let me work 10 hrs, 4 days a week. Nor did he care when I took my lunch, or how I manged my time. He also was planning on hiring me full time WITH the nice perks (vacations, summers, tuition remission, 401k). But then I got moved over to Planning - a different kettle of fish. There went the few (very few) perks I had. Gone were the 4-10s. Gone was freedom. I was ACTUALLY ASKED WHEN I TAKE LUNCH BREAKS. IN A PROFESSIONAL JOB. >.< Know what else was gone? The prospect for being hired! Fuckers. way to inspire loyalty

Anyway. GOOD THINGS. TODAY. I finally convinced the development team of a web app (not one I'm developing) that our project isn't complete for Thursday. But we can present a beta application! get feedback from the clients, answer questions, check workflows, etc. Then I went to a workshop on my own dime - how to use Git and Bitbucket. FANTASTIC lesson. Speaker was really presentable, down to earth, and approachable. THEN - he offered me an interview. He ACTUALLY STOPPED TALKING TO SOMEONE AS I WAS LEAVING TO COME OVER AND TALK TO ME

I'M FLOATING ON CLOUDS ♥♥♥♥

KEEP IT UP GOOD JUJU.
