Interview…

Filed under: General Life Updates, Work Updates — slimpickins @ 10:51 pm

So I have my interview with T-mobile on Friday 11/16 at 3pm. I called the temp agency to let them know and it seems negotiations for me to become perm with Concur have already started. Stephanie (at accountemps) is under the interpretation that they want me to go perm either the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. So everything is in motion, now we wait and see.

 Update – I have officially applied for a permanent position at Concur. I should hear shortly I hope on if I will become a permanent member of the Concur team or not.

Interview…

Filed under: General Life Updates, Work Updates — slimpickins @ 4:25 am

So I applied for a Cash Applications Specialist position at T-mobile. (I applied for the position because my old supervisor works in that department and told me if I applied that she would get me an interview, and she came through with her word) I got an e-mail today that they want me for an interview. So of course I am going to go, but I would prefer to stay at Concur. But I really need a full time permanent job so that I can get my teeth fixed and get a new car.

Controller…

Filed under: General Life Updates, Work Updates — slimpickins @ 10:00 pm

So today started out strange yet good. I get in to work this morning and after about an hour, our controller saunters over to my desk. He shakes my hand and introduces himself (though I already knew who he was). He says that he has heard good things about me and thought it was time for a formal introduction.

So I am doing something right… :)

Extention Approved…

Filed under: General Life Updates, Work Updates — slimpickins @ 5:23 pm

So I got word today that my extention at work has been approved. I will be here at Concur Technology through March 15th. That is  an extra 5 months on top of the 11 weeks contract I am currently in. So that means I will have been with Concur Technology for a total of one week shy of 8 months.

 Update: Looks like an increase in pay comes with the extention. Now sure to what yet, but YAY!!!

Damn I am good…. :)

Extension??

Filed under: Work Updates — slimpickins @ 4:10 pm

So, today has been a strange day to start with. Things have been hectic with training of our team and whatnot. I have not had a meeting with my boss in about 2 weeks (regarding how things are going, etc.)

Today she asks me to come and sit with her. She asks how I like it here and thanks me for all my hard work. Then she says “would you like to stay past Oct. 19? With your permission I wanted to put in a request to extend you. You would be covering so-and-so’s job while they are on maturnity leave, learning reconcilliations of accounts and it would mean more overtime come month ends. I would like to ask for the extention to cover into March.”

Of course I said, “Yes, I would love to continue working with the team and as a part of Concur.” She says I will keep you updated, but I wanted you to be a par tof this decision. Once the approval comes through I will let you know

Work Update

Filed under: Work Updates — slimpickins @ 5:06 am

I am happy to tell ya’ll that I got the extension at my temp job. I have been extended until October 19th. YEAH… another 6 weeks at Concur Technology. This is good news, as I would love to get hired on permanently with them. Now the bonus to this is, that our year end is October (so I will be busy) and can really show what I can do. The bad news is that I will be busy, so I won’t have much free time and I cannot guarantee I won’t be working overtime including some weekends.

So I apologize now if I seem distance the next 6 weeks. Also this means that I will not be able to some of the things that I really wanted to do. Oh well, I guess that is what happens. I can’t take time off as I am a temp and I need to show what I can do which means not taking time off.
