Money and jobs

[badseed1980]

Just filed my tax return online, using the free filing option through H&R Block. Looks like I'll be getting a tasty chunk of change this year! Yay!!! I can use it. :) They *did* charge $15 for filing my state return, but that's not too bad: saves me time and effort. Plus I think it would have cost me a few bucks to mail it certified or registered with delivery confirmation or whatever anyway. Not as much, true, but the convenience makes up for it.

So...I forget if I already mentioned this or not, but my former coworker A, has a friend who works in HR at WGBH. Said friend is overworked as hell, but loves working there. They are looking for someone to help her out. I gave my resume to A, who gave it to her friend. Now it's in the hands of a woman from Boston Networking Group, who works with WGBH and other companies on staffing. That woman called me at 8am today (UGH), and I am going to be meeting with her tomorrow afternoon about all this. Yay!

Only bad news: the temp assignment I was expecting fell through. So I may well not be working at all this week. I'm going to keep calling in every day to pester people into finding stuff for me. Oy.

Anyway, at least I got laundry, grocery shopping, and my tax return done! Next steps: apply for jobs, clean up, and maybe get some bloody exercise. pierceheart accused me of bouncing this morning...I think that means I need to move around more.

I worked at WGBH in the liscencing department for a few days while temping (plus a few stints through the temp agency 'volenteering' for pledge drive). I tried applying to a few positions, but most were a stretch for my qualifications; but anyway; it did seem a really good place to work.

Congrats on your good news, potential and actual!

Hopefully, my PC will be fixed this week, so I can file ours!

Good luck on the job hunt. Temping can be frustrating, but I enjoyed it.

Go get 'em, girl

Sounds like you're moving along, even if the tempage isn't working like clockwork.

If you get a gig at WGBH you have to get set me up with M. McCormack :D she = teh cute!

Hey, I am surprised you didn't take a week off just to celebrate! Don't worry, there are plenty of assignments out there.
