Now let me not stuff it up.
(It's through a friend, so really let me not stuff it up!)
I start on Tuesday, standard office hours (might be a little less - 8:30am-5pm, give or take, and you get ~45minutes lunch-and-break as you please.
It's a temp, full-time job, working in the IT department of a farming/industrial machinery company 15 minutes down the road. It's sort of a general dogsbody job - "helpdesk" but the users are the kind of people who delete their bookmarks and then want to know how to get them back. (Note: this is an actual, real example of what happened while I was filling out forms there this afternoon.
The people are nice, the pay is good for what it is and where it is - double what I was temping for back in the mid-00s as a front desk secretary, even if it's rather less than what I'm used to as a contractor. I shall learn to budget.
(A friend has been trying to take me through YNAB - You Need A Budget - and now that money is coming in but it's seriously limited, I shall have to start gripping the beast by the tail...)
Uh, but to celebrate, I'm going to buy the Her Universe Captain Marvel fake leather jacket. And the Wonder Woman one. I'd buy the WW boots, but I don't wear heels anymore and I can't stretch the splurge that far...
I still have to sell a shitload of stuff, too. *sigh*
