unable to stay jobless

Well I'm not even done working at the place that I'm quitting from, and already, out of the blue, I have a new job. This is cool though: it's at the SPCA!!

What's not so very cool is that I'm supposed to work at the accounting firm until the end of tax season (beginning of May), which is going to be VERY busy and a lot of overtime. Now, on top of that, I'll likely be at the SPCA every Saturday and who knows when else, because I told them I'd work anytime I wasn't doing my regular job if they needed me to. It's gonna be a lot of work. There's an end in sight though. If I can survive the next eight weeks it'll all be good, and hopefully I'll pick up enough shifts at the SPCA so that I won't have to ever go temping. It's supposed to be a casual position, but the shelter has been recently renovated and is a lot bigger, and thus holds a lot more animals, so they are absolutely swamped with work and hurting for extra employees A LOT. So I think chances are fairly decent that I'll get a lot of hours there. I know this is going to be a stressful job sometimes, but it's something I completely believe in so I'm really happy about it.

AND, being a casual position, I'll still have the flexibility to do all the things we have planned this summer and fall.

Spanish lessons were over last weekend. Mark couldn't make it to the last class - he was busy falling into Fairy Lake in the rain and catching a cold. I'm not sure if we can do the level 3 Spanish class - it looks like not enough students are going to sign up for it, and now I'll be working on Saturdays. It's a shame too, because I think we're on the edge of a Spanish breakthrough. Ah well.
