My slipper-buying plan failed miserably. There are, apparently, no slippers to be found in the immediate Wall Street vicinity. However, after walking around in the cold, the office feels relatively warm, and so I will deal with it and bring slippers from home tomorrow. Or come to work in my fleece-lined boots.

My boss said they may hire one of us to stay on here, permanently or semi-permanently, and she's leaning towards me. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I do so enjoy having money (although I owe it all and more to American Express) and I'm hearing that it's difficult, these days, to find temp work. It would be nice to have something steady.

On the other hand, I'm tired of getting up early every day. Can't I put off being an adult for awhile longer, say, the million years or so it will take me to get out of college? But worse than that, I feel guilty. I was planning to take a "break" from employment after this job ended, but my fellow temp, Jason, is looking for a permanent position, and he has a family to support. My boss is pushing for me-- I didn't quite understand her reasoning, but somehow it's better for them to have someone who's in school. And I think she just likes me better. But I would be taking a job away from a guy who really needs it. However, I told her, yay! That would be great! Thank you so much!

This is all iffy, of course-- they may just transfer someone they already have to the job, or decide not to keep anyone, or whatever, but if they do, it'll be me.

I know, Tarzan play world's tiniest violin. Anyway, work is good, right? Keeps me from sleeping all day.
