As many of you know, Aretha, my wife was a stay at home Mom until the Joshua, Caleb and Christopher went to school. When the twins started kindergarden, she went back to college to study accounting.
After many years of hard work, she graduated last May and entered the work world.
Over the past year, she's been temping with AccountTemps and another company - this is primarily because all the companies are looking for people with 2 or 3 years worth of experience.
Over the last 4 months she's been working with a company downtown that actually has liked her a lot. It's a small company and a great opportunity to really learn the ins-and-outs of accounting.
With this temp agency that's she's working with now, you have to work at least 600 hours before the company can hire you... if they want to. Aretha hit the 600 hour mark a couple of weeks ago.
The problem is, the company hadn't made her an offer yet.
We had a lot of discussions between the 2 of us regarding what a good "stay" offer is and what a "walking out the door" offer was and when/whether she should go to the management there and ask what the status is.
Well, yesterday, Aretha took that step. She went into the head guys office and asked him if they were going to extend her an offer to make her permanent.
His response was... "I thought you already were!"
The ball is rolling... we'll see what happens.
