Jet lag seems to be putting me through the ringer. Not necessarily making me awake at inappropriate times but more so making me tired all the time. It's most annoying especially around 3:30 when all I want to do is crawl under the desk and have a wee nap. I don't think that would go over too well at this new assignment.
So yes, it's day two at "the bank" and things seem to be going well. Not overly busy but I'm still getting used to everything. I'm alittle worried that I may have already offended my "boss". On my outgoing email signature I changed it so it displayed my name and beside "Executive Assistant" I put "Temporary" and underlined it. When he saw an email I sent him this morning he said "Well, I see you want to be clear about your position. Yesterday must have been a rough day!". I don't know him well enough to know if he's joking with me or not. The thing is I'm trying to feel him out (not literally - Rabsy get your mind out of the gutter!) to see if this is a job I could work at - read: maternity leave. So far I quite like him but as we all know, it's still the first few days. I went into the signature and took out the underline and even put my name in a nice blue colour and softer font. Hopefully he knows that I didn't mean anything by it.

Now that I am home, I find myself faced with the reality of getting a full time job in order to receive "maternity leave". I was talking to my aunt about it last night and she seems to think that I may be able to get it through the temp agency because it's a UI issue not so much an "employer" deal. The nice thing about some employers though is that they cover the two week waiting period and "top you up" to a higher amount to match your salary.
While I was in SF I had a pretty major anxiety moment when I realized I was about to come home and that ment getting a job for probably close to a year. That idea scares me more than the idea of having a baby and raising it to be well adjusted and fully equiped to deal with whatever the world may through at them. It's ridiculous really considering in the grand scheme of life, it's not that long and it would really help us out financially. I'll have to give it some more thought and look into my aunt's suggestion in the mean time.
