The assignment at UNCFSP got extended through next Friday, which is good since none of the people I interviewed with before I left or after I returned have called/e-mailed/whatever to let me know I have a permanent job with them. Also, the Commonwealth changed its mind and decided I didn't have enough income in 4th quarter 2007 to get unemployment. I'll probably appeal, but frankly, for $149 it hardly seems worth it.
The phone I won on eBay seems to have been sent to the Ramada after all, arriving on the third. Hopefully Kendra can track it down for me in her copious free time; I'd really like to go back to using a Katana again. The longer I use the Samsung the more irritating it is.
