Too Much Information??

So this past week at work I kept hearing different people say that they heard different things about being able to apply for other jobs within the company. I decided that the best approach would be to ask my manager and get the straight answer. But low and behold she was sick for most of the week. Last night she finally was at work and so I asked what the policy was. I told her that I had heard that we could apply for jobs now even though our 90 days were not up yet, in fact next week it will be 60 days. She said that we do have to wait 90 days but if a job comes up between now and then that we can apply as long as the job opening closes after our 90 days. So now I am just waiting to see if there is anything available in a permanent position.

I asked my manager last week if we would qualify for 6 months of work so that I could get health insurance for my family. She said that last year's group were furloughed in June and did not return until the end of February. GREAT! Now I am wondering what to do if that happens to us. I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for new PERMANENT positions in the company. I do not think that I can handle the furlough business for too long.

I have been enjoying my new position. The only problem is that there is one new girl there that LOVES TO TALK!!!! One night I noticed that she talked the entire night to anyone that would listen to her and then some. I just want to get my work done and go home to bed, I do not want it to be a chat session. I have learned to just plug in the iPod and type away. Last night I messed up my iPod before going to work and so was unable to listen to it and had to listen to all the chatting going on around me. Thankfully though some people were gone and others had decided to listen to their books or music and I was able to concentrate on my work, but sometimes I sure hear things that I wonder if I really should be hearing it. I think I am getting OLD!!!! Now if I can just find a way to get my sleep caught up.......
