Just thought I'd update y'all about what I've been doing since I moved back to CA from AZ in January.
I live near downtown Los Angeles now, near MacArthur Park, in a VERY small apartment but it's comfortable for me and easy to get around to the places I like to go.
My first job I got was as a call center quality control specialist. lol
I would listen in to the callers as they spoke to businesses around the country and tried to make the appointments for the sales people to show up and try to sign the businesses up for their credit card processing system. IT SUCKED but it was only part time. 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, for $9.50 per hour. (did you know call centers and sales reps LIE?)
Well, on August 16th, they told our whole department we were no longer needed as of the 17th. I guess, QUALITY was NOT job one there! They gave us the option of becoming callers. No thanks.
So I was out of work for about 3 weeks and about ready to move in with my sisters back in New Jersey when I got a call from a temp agency.
I now work at a TV broadcasting facility (It used to be owned by Playboy, they still have some facilities here). I'm the accountant. lol I never was one before but I know the databases they use and that's why they hired me. I actually love it here and hope the job becomes permanent but they are thinking about moving all their accounting to their main office in Atlanta.
The job is 24 hours per week and I only work Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. And the pay is almost twice what the call center paid.
This with my other part time job, working from home running a few web sites for a friend of mine, are working out good for me, so far. :-)
That's about all for now. Other than, where I live seems to be be Twinks with daddy issues central!
