What was I thinking?

[msmemory_archive]

Why did I even come back to this job? Nothing's better, and some things are worse. I'm being blamed for things that became overdue while I was out (well, duh, maybe that completed PO form should have been picked up off my desk and forwarded to Accounting in my absence!). OK, I didn't expect that somebody was going to catch up my shelving as a surprise gift while I was away, but you'd think that they could have ordered office supplies or forwarded the accounting paperwork or SOMEthing.

Cross fingers that the lead from P at least turns into an interview.

"Life is the process of trading what you have, for what you want or need." That's why.

Depressing, ain't it? (:-)

Having money is good. And they do pay competitively.

Remind me of your skillset? we are still looking, but I believe for positions that don't fit you. Still...

Training (Master's) and preferred sort of position: reference librarian.
Also experienced with, and enjoy: proofreading/editorial work. Skillset also includes admin stuff like receptionist and light secretarial/office management.

Never hurts to network. The lead from P (above) came from sitting next to him at a wedding last year.

I've gotten three job offers in the past year, one from each of three friends. I'm sitting at one of them, and another offered...so yeah, I'd agree networking is a good thing. ;-)

My fingers are crossed for you!

Have you tried using on-line job sites like Monster? To be honest, Monster has only panned out for me once, but it could be a good resource -- once you wade through all the job placement agencies.

If you hate it, you should step up the job search. If John had a lucky jobhunting hat, I'd lend it to you!
