I told them I was interested in finding work, and that I did have a prospect I was working on. The agency person said "Oh, we can help with a vendor position! Let me talk to someone!"
So...can you say "actually, I'd really love to hear from you on (non-vendor) positions"? Or is it that they have vendor connections you'll just want if the other thing falls through?
how about " some approached me before you did "
Dh works with a contract co now -- it is pretty well understood that contractors go where the work is. When they realized his contract might not get renewed ( back in June ) they started looking for places for him - and they were aware that he was going to look wherever he could. and they pushed it hard with his current company ( wh o finally did what everyone does and said - ack we can't lose Matt now )
Good god, why aren't any of my meds working?
Jilli, I don't know how it is in your more concentrated neck of the woods, but all the contracting companies I worked with were very sanguine about competition--just as long as I didn't let them double submit, they were fine. I felt bad not going with the recruiter that had gotten me two good positions in a row, but shit, man, first come first commissioned. But it came up more than once that companies I had a relationship with had to not offer me for a position because someone else already had.
Good god, headache. Subside. Tomorrow is jam-packed with meetings. And you haven't slept right in two days.
Good god, why aren't any of my meds working?
I loathe your meds for not working. Mostly I hate that you have to deal with this at all. It's awful.
Headaches NO.
Oh, ick, ita. I'm sorry. I hope the headache lets up or your meds kick in. Bah.
I'm with you, ita. I don't think you could get me to a cuddle party to stop an apocalypse.
Seriously.
It takes more vetting for me to get a good hug than a decent lay. I have to like you, maybe even respect you, to hug you.
You respect me!! I feel all warm now.
I don't think you could get me to a cuddle party to stop an apocalypse.
I'd have to have a written contract signed in blood that the only thing that could stop the apocalypse was my participation in said party. Also, the contract should include a lot of money and maybe a parade.
What Ginger and Cass said, re: cuddle party.
t shudder
I'm so sorry your meds aren't working, ita.
D and I watched American Top Gear and decided that while it cannot possibly be as brilliant as the British version, the car on ski slope and blindsrifting competition were pretty damned awesome.
despite my love of hugging the hug adverse buffistas, I would probably get in a fist fight at a cuddle party.
I don't feel great this morning. want to sleep.
sara and Kat - can you do some of your shopping online? Can you send me a list and I do it for you. While I am anxiety free and not overwhelmed schedule-wise, I could help out. My Holiday season is pretty laid-back thus far. If I can get the house really cleaned up in the next week, I will be golden.
I know what sleep I got last night was better than not sleeping, but did my dreams have to be so horrific? One extended monster-movie disaster-zone we're-all-gonna-die cast-yourself-into-the-cold-void-of-space bad. Sheesh. I'm all unsettled now.
