And now, for something totally different--They finally hired me as a full-time permanent employee!

I've been temping on and off—mostly on, for roughly the past year—for the same Orthodox Jewish organization since mid-December 2001. And I told Boss #1, all the way back in 2002, that his special projects would never get done as long as the person doing them was also answering phones and typing memos. Apparently, he finally realized that I was right—and put me on his budget. Baruch shehecheyanu!
