Talk about fantastic but I'm sad you don't get any time off! We will have to make plans for a Saturday - I know not this Sat or next but I know we'll get together in February for sure!<BR/><BR/>CIndySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169320901526463372007-01-20T14:21:00.000-05:002007-01-20T14:21:00.000-05:00You're going to wear a strip in your floor doing t...You're going to wear a strip in your floor doing that happy dance :) :) :)<BR/><BR/>I'll think of you having to get out of bed early on Monday morning.... oh yeah... dh has to be with his crew by 7am...kids have to get on the bus...bookwork to do... no sleeping in again... sigh.... :) :) <BR/><BR/>Except for dishes and laundry I'm on R&R for the weekend.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy visiting with your friends.<BR/><BR/>S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169311004027227452007-01-20T11:36:00.000-05:002007-01-20T11:36:00.000-05:00Cindy: I'm not off at all.

But for the next four weeks I will still be faxing in time sheets to the employment agency and they will be paying me instead of me getting paid by the company - so no break. The company could buy my contract from the employment agency (makes me sound like an indentured servant doesn't it?) or just wait until the agency let's me go. And since it's a non-profit place, they are going with the less expensive alternative. See - once I start working directly for the company, the agency won't get a cut of the pay. <BR/><BR/>Ag: thanks! I've loved working there and now I get to continue<BR/><BR/>Rosario: Nope they aren't stupid *g*. They know a good employee when they see one ;-)<BR/><BR/>Renee: Like I said to Cindy - I don't get time off - it would have been nice to get a week of - but *happy sigh* they need me.<BR/><BR/>Lori: it was a nice pat on the back. I wanted to jump up and hug her - but I held back<BR/><BR/>Nath: ROTLMAO - that's um Kristie *g*. Even on line I get called Cindy.

The one time was completely unjustified too!!! I was called on the carpet for not using proper grammar! Me!?! Me - who's always prided herself in using proper grammar in a business situation. I could believe it. And it wasn't even the guy calling me on the carpet. No - someone had TOLD him I did. He didn't even check it out himself. But even worse, I felt like a coworker - I never found out who and believe me I asked - had stabbed me in the back over that one.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169247401715384102007-01-19T17:56:00.000-05:002007-01-19T17:56:00.000-05:00Farmwifetwo: LOL - while not exactly ticked, I did...Farmwifetwo: LOL - while not exactly ticked, I did do a light, to-myself sigh because I kind of was looking forward to at least a week off.
