Destiny’s Daughters, which is composed of 3 novellas dealing with a set of triplet girls separated at birth, and The Color of Family, by Patricia Jones.
I called in sick to work yesterday to work on that business communications project; arrived today only to find out that my replacement had already come in. So that’s it, then. I’m unemployed again.
Or isi it? My rep at the temp company is saying a similar position is open at a similar office near to where I’ll be moving. Before I could really stop to think about it, I said I could be there tomorrow. Now I’m wondering if I made the right choice. If I work another temp gig, how much energy will I have for furthering my actual career search? Because I really want to take that step.
