So I hope I didn’t majorly screw anything up today.

The receptionist at the financial company where I work is out this week on vacation, and so I am filling in for her up in the front.  I do what I normally do, just less of it, and I also answer phones and transfer calls and what not, and I make small talk with the clients who come in for appointments.  I stay until 5 because they need me.  I also watch CNBC on the 42-inch widescreen in the reception area.  Today Bernanke and Paulson were on the screen all freaking day long.  You can imagine it’s been interesting working at a financial company during this whole mess.  I’ve been learning a lot from being there and from listening to NPR on the way to and from work.  NPR is freaking awesome despite its pretentiousness.  Anyway, my supervisor told me today that she is pushing giving me a full-time job there to the regional VP.  He mentioned something about it today when the Marketing VP came in today.  She said she could really use my help.

Please, please, please let me get this job!

It would be fantastic because it’s a good company, I love the people I work with, and I just like the job.  Seems like there’s no other jobs to be found, so this could be a life saver.  I’m PRAYING TO GOD that the VP says yes and lets me stay with the company.  He keeps saying I’m doing an awesome job, so hopefully that translates into “you can have the job.”  I might even be able to get *health benefits*.  I hope.  Hope hope.

In other news, there’s a Nor’easter blowing through here.  When I cross the bridge, it’s kinda scary, especially when I emerge from the tunnel.  I have to hold onto my steering wheel tightly.  This only means less biking, which is sad, although I do need to heal from my recent accident.  The bruise around my eye is yellowing, and the one on my leg just seems to be getting more purple.
