Today is Wed. Decmeber 10. I am working all week (40 hours 8:00-5:00) for CSU Pueblo Foundation Office as a paid temp. It is a learning curve, but I like the people and the office. They only hugh thing that has happened, is the President of the school came in and I did not know who he was. I was embarassed when I found out - won't make that mistake again. It is not a state level job, so if it was offered, I would have to find out about pay and benefits. Some people have left for better jobs through the CSU state structure. I can't find anything out until I am offered a position.
Tuesday evening when I got home, I had a message from District 70 wanting me to interview this morning at 9:30 a.m. I returned the call and left a message at the school that evening, and called this am to make sure I was scheduled. I printed my resume and grabbed my reference letters and was ready to tell Dena, my boss at CSU Pueblo, that I had to leave for an interview in the middle of the morning. I got on mapquest to locate the school which is a long ways! It had me exiting onto McCullough Blvd. -I know where that is. I got to work, Dena did not get in until 8:50, and I immediately told her I had to leave, but would make up the time by not taking my lunch hour, and working the extra time the next three days. She was fine with that.
I headed out to Pueblo West High School for my interview for the Principal's Secretary position. I took McCullough exit, not realizing there were two of them. I had the wrong exit and ended up touring a lot of Pueblo West before I found a street from the map I thought would get me there. Of course, I did not have the phone # to call, nor were there anything but empty streets and houses around me. I finally decided I would do my best and I was only 5 minutes late for the interview. When I was introduced to them I apologized and told them that I was lost, but enjoyed the tour of Pueblo West, and they thought that was pretty funny. It really broke the ice for the interview. I was relaxed and think I did a great job on the interview. Usually they are hiring from within, and I am not sure why I got the interview. I brought up a multitude of good questions and really sold myself. The people were awesome, and the Principal reminded me of Cristal. I hope I have a chance at the job. Don't know when I will have results.
I got back to work at 10:45, so I owe CSU 45 minutes over the next two days. Friday will be my last day here, then I have no idea what is next.
Working is awesome, being around people, meeting new people, forgetting names, and generally visiting with anyone I can. I have been really isolated, so I think I am probably more talkative than usual.
District 60 has not called me for interviews on the 3 temporary grant based positions yet. They usually take a long time to process, so I will try to be patient.
Tony Langoni, Cindy Jobe's Uncle, called me to get him a resume. He has a lead on a job that is not posted yet. I will drop it off at his house after work tonight - who knows. Nice to have the opportunity, anyway.
I am feeling like all of my hard work has paid off. It is about time I get something going!!!!!
That's it for now.
