Thread Name: BS: Need Job Advice FAST!
Subject: RE: BS: Need Job Advice FAST!
So far, at the new job, I am sitting on my duff doing nothing much. I am, unfortunately, in charge of 'crowd control' at the temporary offices of a county disaster relief program. They were expecting larger numbers of people to come in and apply for benefits at once, but it has been VERY slow these two days. The county employees are all decent, laid-back people, so they just sat me in a chair and told me to hang out and be as helpful as I could to those arriving, which I have.

The real adventure will be at the end of next week, when this temporary office is closed. I have to wonder where I'll be posted next. I can almost guarantee that it will be a LOT better than the crime-infested ghetto I was almost stuck in with the old outfit.

In the meantime, I have gotten some responses from people who want to possibly join my vaudeville-themed street act, I have gotten out and busked (at the diocesan cathedral near me, no less!) and am looking toward some performances at the end of the month.
