new job

[shandi]

I started a temp job on Monday with a company called Trinal on the south loop. I'm not exactly doing what I'd like but it pays over double what I was earning on unemployment, so that's beneficial. In the meantime, I can continue searching for a PR job while not being broke. I'm actually liking this job more and more as the days go by. I didn't like

Congrats on the job. What are you doing exactly? I hope you reschedule the party soon!

I work for a consulting company that certifies payroll of workers such as electricians and construction workers. They also monitor percentages of minorities, wage, and stuff like that to make sure contractors are remaining compliant with various IL law. They make sure contractors are hiring their required percentage of individuals from certain areas (aka "the projects") to ensure those individuals living in govt housing are being treated fairly as far as employment. They do a bunch of stuff like that. It's a really nice company. My office is only about 12 people. It's a nice environment.

I do a bunch of accounting stuff with payroll and some data entry. Lately they've been giving me a TON of work in excel and some other projects. Yesterday (day three) I already had to work over 45 min!

Kelly and I are tentatively rescheduling the party for the last weekend in October. But we aren't sure yet.
