Another month of this and I won't mind the wisdom teeth debacle
So it looked like today was going to suck, because Boston public transit has temporarily gone batshit insane for the stupid marathon and last night was a Red Sox game so half the city was drunk anyway.
But then I discovered that the mini-market across the street from where I work had a Subway installed, which means every time I go to stock up on frozen lunches for work I can get myself a sub for that day. ♥ At work I did nothing but upload LJ icons for hours (you should clearly check them out) and at the end of the day Ashley Simpson not-of-the-music-of-the-tech-support-company asked me if I could show him how to install a printer on a new Mac.
After that we had a conversation that went something like this.
Him: You seem kind of handy to have around. What are you doing tomorrow morning? Hahaha.
Me: Hahaha.
Him: No, seriously. What are you doing tomorrow morning at around 9 AM? I have a client who needs someone familiar with Macs and I just don't have the time to learn another OS.
Me: Um... Actually I'm not doing anything.
Him: Oh good. You see, I spoke with Meghan about it--
Me: *TWITCH*
Him: --and she gave it a try and she just HATED it--
Me: *that's because she's a retard*
Him: --but if you wanted to help out a bit occasionally, I'm willing to pay you a bit more than your current salary--
Me: * O___O *
Him: --and you could get some experience. What's your background?
Me: Um... English lit and Japanese studies. And my masters is in library science...
Him: That's like, database stuff, right? So what do you think? You could be a 'platform assistant', or maybe a 'system engineer'...
...I could be a system engineer. He says he doesn't want to "compete" with my current employer so only in what free time I have, but... I would so much rather do tech stuff than library stuff. Crossing my fingers!
