It's official

Just talked to Sharon, and I'm here until May 2007 if I want to be. I've also emailed my agency and asked Heather to look into that pay rise that was mentioned when I started, since, yeah, I'm going to want some kind of compensation for giving up no paid sick or vacation time for a year. I'll still be doing the job search, tho', since yeah, permanent rules over temping, but at least I can do it without the stress of being out of work.

Also had a very pleasant evening yesterday. Met up with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] after work at Fiddler's Green, potential Dexcon venue for next year and had a couple of drinks - mmm, Caffrey's, how I have missed you, O girly Guiness, time to switch for the winter, I think - and chatted and laughed a lot. Then Dex went off to another thing and I spent the rest of the evening on the couch, tucked up with a blanket, my laptop and Akira on the telly. Got some logging done for the game, did some link editing for the Wiki and had my much-needed downtime. Even got to bed before midnight. ;)

Funny how much simple things can improve your outlook.

Still busy today, but one of the most urgent things has been done, so yay.

I thought you're there as a permanent resident? Or am I mistaken?

I'm permanent, the job is not. *grins* I've been working as a temp since I got here, but I'd prefer to get some kind of permanent employment with all the benefits of such.
