Ten minutes later...

...Research Curator called me back to officially offer me the job. Two days a week, but he says "we have feelers out on some other things to fill the other days, if you're interested."

Pay=Crap. Unsure what the protocol is for asking for more, when you're a seasonal. Hesitant to do so, because I am possibly the most unassertive person on the planet.

Calling Research Curator back tomorrow to take it, either way.

Rar! I shall be employed!
