I got a job!!!

[StellaBlue]

Should I be excited about getting a part-time job that pays $10.50 an hour and requires me to work from 5:00 to 9:00am?

YES!

Because, coupled with my other, 20-hour-a-week state job, I am now working 40 hours per week, meaning I qualify for HEALTH INSURANCE.

:bounce:

Plus the job is really interesting. I get to read every newspaper in Texas every morning, hot off the presses. And the slightly lower pay (compared to the contract, month-to-month 8-12 gig I have now) will even out when I don't have to pay my own premium every month.

Yay!

My new job ROCKS.

It's 9:15am and my day is half over.

I can get a McMuffin for lunch.

I can make fun of Elisabeth Hasselbeck on "The View" (if only Oprah was on in the mornings!).

I can take a two-hour nap.

sounds like interesting work.

19. I'm a bit curious about the health insurance thing.

Did your first job agree to give you insurance if you worked enough hours at another job? I'm confused as to why they would do that.
