Good Afternoon My Dears,
This just in...Eleventh hour save appears to keep me in Scotland. I have gotten a temp to perm job at Cheque Centre, a short term loans company, as an Accounts Payable Assistant. This job is scheduled to go perm come February and starts on Monday. That means that I had to change my ticket to come back. And re-rent my apartment. And reinstate my cable. And all the stuff I canceled. I also have to get my kitchen stuff back, or at least some of it, so's I can feed my face.
The reason that the job isn't perm already, is a budget issue and the company is still working out their 2012 salary budget. So from now till the New Year I am being paid by a temp agency. In January, I go on Cheque Centre's payroll. Then, if I do not screw it up, I go perm in February. Now, you may all be thinking, "Screw Up? You ought to think more of yourself!!" I do, my dears, I do. But I also have my track record in Scotland to go by. And we all know that it has not been of the best. However, I will do mine.
For those of you wondering when you will see me, I am either going to come back for good on February 1, if the job doesn't go well, or if it does, I will come for a 10 day holiday. I am happy, my dears, the thought of leaving Scotland has been heartbreaking. I get to keep leading my writer's group. Speaking of, the group has published an anthology called A Spoonful of Stories, in which I have a poem. Edinburgh is a very literary town and it has certainly gotten my creative juices flowing. I am also planning on doing more dancing. All of the above, of course is predicated on moving out of Gilmerton and closer into town.
So, in sum, I am happy but very busy. Also, I do not think my mama is very happy with me but I think I need to start thinking about myself. And as my mama loves me, eventually, she will come round.
Right, that's all she wrote folks.
Next Up: Work begins and a Christmas coma.
Cheerio for now,
Tina
