New

Hey there all of you who so religiously read my ramblings. Here comes a much needed update on all things work related.

On Thursday, December 10 at 3 pm, I got a call to let me know that my contract had been terminated, and I had one hour to collect my things, and leave the place I had been happily working for 6 months.

Needless to say, I was pretty broken up about such a wrench. I'm not good with things that happen too fast as it is, but especially when I've carved myself a niche, or settled myself into a nice little rut.

Anyway, the lady who gets me gigs with the temp agency called to say that I would have to wait a week before the next gig, which I would start on Monday, December 21st.

Well, the weekend before I was slated to start, a huge snowstorm hit the east coast. DC peoples are not great with snow at the best of times, and this was a foot and a half of it. So the new place was closed. Giving me another day to freak.

But here I am. Its day two, and things are going fine. I'm not as in love with it as I was with the last place, though, on day two at the last place I wasnt in love either. And I'm likely not going to get too attached because whenever I am introduced to someone its, "This is Ariel, she's filling in for Luke". So whenever this "luke" returns, my services will no longer be needed here and we'll start the hurry up and wait game with the temp agency all over again.

Basically, I hate the unknown. Now that I've been here for a day and a half so far, I'm getting a little more comfortable, but the knowledge that I have another unknown waiting in the not too distant future makes me uneasy.

I guess we'll all have to wait and see
