Oh the places you will go!

Life seems to keep trucking along and dragging me behind it tied to ropes. And just when I think it can’t go any faster, it does! I need to make a decision about whether I want to stay permanent at my job soon. I also need to decide if I want to accept salary, should that be offered and if it isn’t offered, if I should push for a guaranteed 40 hours. I could find plenty of things to do at work to get those extra 9.5 hours. As is, I rarely find a week that I don’t already go over the 30.5. But, anyway, my boss offered me a “more permanent” position and we’re going to chat about it in the AM. I guess we’ll see what happens, eh?

I really enjoy my job right now, but I figure that if it gets too boring or the pay ceases to be worth it, then I can just wait it out for a few years and find something else. Once I have a good solid background with one company, it’ll be a cakewalk to get a higher management job. I found that when I was interviewing in May, my biggest issue was the lack of traditional experience. I’m sure that others have this same problem. My friend Damon comes to mind! He has no degree in his field, but damn, he knows his stuff!

    It’s a drinking Damon picture off your site somewhere. :D Why don’t you send me a photo that you’d like used? It would save me the hassle of finding a decent one, lol!

    Yeah, I’ve that problem, too. I’ve a degree in IT but no solid hands-on experience at almost 30. :(

    Yeah, it sucks. My favorite reason for not being hired: Over Qualified It’s just a nice way of saying that they think you’ll leave or want a ton of money since you have a degree.

    Gosh, I miss working. It’s ironic when I was working, I was miserable. Now that I spend most of my time at home alone, I want nothing more then to work again. It’s always a catch 22.

    Yeah, that’s how it always works. You don’t really appreciate something til it’s gone.
