It’s not a long term deal at all, but I’ll at least have an assignment for the next couple days. Today’s called with a slight emergency today — a 2-day posting at Microsoft, working a swing shift from 2pm-10:30pm. I’ll have to bus out to Redmond and back, so I’ll be leaving a bit before 1pm and not getting back until a bit after midnight for the next two days, but hey, it’s employment and a little bit of money, even if it is short-term.
I was also informed that there had been some communication with Xerox regarding my dismissal, and the person from Xerox also said that they felt I got caught “between a rock and a hard place” — apparently almost echoing what I had told Today’s about the circumstances as I’d seen them. That was definitely nice to hear, and it does help insure that I stay in good with the team at Today’s.
That’s it for employment news at the moment. Aside from that, not a lot is going on. The weather was absolutely gorgeous all day today, so I spent a good portion of the morning wandering around downtown Seattle and enjoying the sun.
I did wish I’d had my camera along with me a few times. At one point I was walking up the Harbor Steps plaza from the waterfront to 1st, and walked into a small storm of rose petals — the wind was getting caught between the buildings and creating eddys and whirlpools, which were sweeping up all the rose petals from the trees in the plaza and swirling them through the air. Really, really pretty, but since I was cameraless, you’ll just have to settle for my less-than-lyrical description of it.
Guess ya just had to be there, huh? :)
