Work has been slow so I put in an application online a couple of weeks ago. The place called me for an interview the next day. They did a background check and fortunately didn't find out about me posting at UJ.
Yesterday I went for the second interview, took the drug test and they hired me. Jigly helped me study for the drug test. He's like a savant.
They told me to come back on July 7th for orientation. So I go in to my current job last night and they say there is going to be a meeting in the morning. The meeting was that about a 4th of the employees are going to be laid off, including moi. So since I was going to quit anyway I was quite happy but pretended to be upset because of the other people. I have a lot of empathy for my fellow workers.
So I think great, now I get a couple of weeks unemployment and a vacation. Then just now the place that just hired me called up and said that the orientation has been moved up to June 23. Now I won't get a vacation or unemployment, but still not bad.
What are the odds of getting a new job the day before you're laid off? Nobody saw this coming either. God loves me.
