Today was a good day. This morning I got a call from my agency that my resume had made the cut for a new project, and that the employer wanted to bring me in for an interview today or tomorrow. I was told that if I made the second cut, I'd start work on Monday. I interviewed at 2 PM and was hired a few hours later. After having to take a project with a lower rate of pay for a few months, I was happy to hear that this assignment would be at my normal rate!
This afternoon I went to the library to pay my fine and get unblocked from borrowing books and DVDs (they block you if the fine is over $15). I gave the clerk my card and got out a $20 bill, but the cashier asked if I had a smaller bill. I gave her a puzzled look since I thought I should only get $3-4 change. She told me that the library had a special promotion for June where you could clear your account if you paid half of what you owed. I gave her two $5 bills and got two $1 dollar bills back. All 28 individual fines were wiped clean!
Then tonight, the east side contingent of our Pub Quiz team won the grand prize at Claddagh, which so happens to be a big screen tv! Since we're not splitting a television five ways, we'll be taking the cash option. Luckily, the cash prize divides into five parts quite nicely.
