News...emailed to my aunt...

.I'm employed! :) I'm going to be a telemarketer! Haha. Did I mention to you my friend Katie who has a horrendous job? Well I'm going to be working with her! So we can bike to work together! The hours are 9-5 M-Th with a .5hr break each day, and I only have to work until 3 on Fridays. I'll be paid 10E/hr, but with taxes here, I'll only take home 6-7E/hr. It's only supposed to be for 2 months, though Katie has been there longer than that and she was told the same thing. Also, within that two months I can leave at anytime if I give 1-2 days notice, so there's really no reason for me to not take it and therefore be paid while I'm searching for a "real" job. On top of the 10E/hr an additional 8% of what I earn goes toward vacation money, so it's not like I have a certain number of days I can take - I can take as much as I want, but the amount of money the company will put toward it is essentially 8% of what I've earned up to that point, and beyond that it's unpaid. It's nice that I will therefore be able to determine on my own how important vacation is to me and to take what I want rather than be stuck with a certain number of days. Also, they will pay for me for any time I spend at the doctor or dentist (not the fees, but rather for my time while I'm there), and they will pay unlimited sick time, but if I take too much they'll just fire me.

So I'm excited! I'll be calling businesses in the UK.
