Monday, August 13th, 2007 12:23 amI have no idea what I have typed out here or not. So...brief summary:
A while ago I had applied to be a Sub(stitute) level 2, because it was the only way I would be able to get any training on the computers, and the pay is like 3 bucks more an hour than I am currently making.
So...I applied, got an interview, and got the job. I love having friends all over the local libraries....for some reason, they like me (muhahaha) *cough* Anyway, that out of the way.
Now I have to have the actual training. It will be at the Service Center about 45 minutes away. I don't drive on the freeway, so I have to beg rides from people. Actually, not so much begging. People are glad to drive me up there. So all covered.
Training schedule:
tues: 8-5
wed: 9-1
thurs 9-1, 2-3
fri: 9-1
Plus a few dates in a couple months.
Not a morning person, but I should live (oh, I hope)
So, after that, I need...I think it is 16 hours working at a different branch from where I am at, then I can Sub where ever. Don't think I need the other training before I can sub.
Good news, I get paid for the training at the new sub rate.
Bad news, my main job is still Page at minimum wage (sigh...after 3 years, one would expect a raise), 10 hours a week. But plenty of time to squeeze in some sub hours if I am needed. And I would be first on call to sub at where I work.
And, when we finally get the new building built, there is another circulation position that will be available. Our Aide is going to try for it, and so will I. I will feel bad if I get it over her. She hates putting books away. Said she will leave if she not get the new job. So, either way I should be a shoe-in for her position. I would have gotten it last time (well, before the position was given to her), but my boss said I needed to work on my 'people skills.' I thought I had actually came a long way from avoiding everyone in the chance that they might ask me something. Now, I can (and have, oops) spent over a half hour chatting to people at. a. time. Kinda strange going from person voted Most Shy in the yearbook to becoming a jabber box o.O
Now...I also get paid for 2 hours of my own time to read this huge freaking maual. Ooh *goes to take a picture of it:
( being kind and putting behind a cut )
Which is actually why I am typing this...stalling. Dun wanna read *stomps foot*
And I am trying hard not to freak out. I have been getting headaches again every couple days, and if I get one on a training day (the early-rising not going to help) it will be Hell.
Other news to stall with...Went to see the Bourne movie again today *looks at clock* er, yesterday. I was a bit tired and almost fell asleep during a non-action scene. Actually...past almost because I was out enough to have this freaky little dream.
Love the action scenes...shows just enough for you to know what is going on. The fight in the tiny bathroom. Wow! Went with Mom this time and she had to close her eyes for the car chase because was feeling sick. Too loud in that theater. Need to rent when out on video and have her watch the scene again.
I think that is all I can babble about, for now.
Oh, the fair starts this week. Going to try to go on weekend with a friend. I am freaking broke though. Dad also wants to go and I don't think I could afford the admittance *sigh* Going to have a nice end-of-the-month paycheck at least with all the extra training hours. And I get paid mileage for the drive to the Service Center. I think it is like 20 something bucks. Most of the money needs to go to Mom...owe her way too much and the financial situation here is getting scary.
*wanders off to read the ficcy I have been saving, then to dive into notebook*
