i don't even want to post it cuz i'll jinx it

but there's a chance there might be a change for the better at work. someone who used to work at the front desk part-time called and asked my boss today if there was any chance she could work part-time. apparently she's in some program (she's a little slow) where if she doesn't have a job, she'll lose $600 a month. but she'll also lose out on a different program if she makes more that $60 a week. (i know that part because she called my mom before she called my boss to see if she could call him. my mom told her it wouldn't hurt to try.) my boss asked me if she'd be able to help me with stuff if she worked saturdays. i said, 'really, there's not much she could do to help me because she would be stuck at the desk, too. but i have been thinking for awhile that it would be helpful if someone were to be at the front desk even one day a week so i could get away from here and focus solely on medical records for a day. it feels very backed up right now.' to which he replied, 'oh. we could see if that would work. my understanding is that she wants very part time, but yeah, maybe that, or if she would want to relieve you two afternoons a week or something.' 'that would be fine, too. i'd rather it not be fridays because i'm already busy that day, but really anything would help.' 'okay, i'll call her.'
