What luck!

after the post yesterday, about how i wanted to find a job with photoshop, i got a call yesterday from a placement agency who got my resume about a photoshop position. There are positives and negatives to the job, and it would be a HUGE risk if i chose it.

positives:
-its only 10mins from home
-its a photoshop position
-its starting at $20hr ($3 more then i make now)

Negatives:
-its a temp to perm job. meaning, if they dont' like me within the 2-3 months of temp, then i'm screwed out of a job.
-i would have no insurance for the temporary months, i would have to buy my own insurance. i NEED insurance especially for de'von.

if i end up not getting permenant position, then i have to look for another job and continue to pay for insurance.

I expressed my concern to the woman i spoke with, and she completely understood. she was going to submit my resume to the company, and said that she is sure they would be impressed with my resume, as i am exactly what they are looking for. she said from there, they would set up an interview.
she told me to at least try the interview and see how i feel after that.
which is what i will do if i get an interview..


I guess all i can do is wait to see what happens :-)

Stacy, this one's for you

What the hell!

I figured that since my eldest sister Cheryl has a blog, and next eldest sister Karen has a blog (in Australia, you showoff!) then what the hell, I want a blog too!!
Unfortunately, my life isnt fun-filled all day with my kids at home, and i'm not in Australia, so my posts won't be as "interesting" as theirs.....BUT, i'm sure i can find a way to make my life more interesting, no?

Working at my boring job all day keeps me pretty busy, but that doesnt mean i'm not trying to pursue my passion for design and photoshop.
ive been actively putting my resume out there. ive been trying to find somewhere in the art field, that maybe i can start off as admin, and work my way up when they see my skills in photoshop and design.
