Time off~ma, Toddson! Also, a minor smiting to your stoopid employers who don't understand the all work and no play makes Toddson a dull and stodgy employee.

and his boss is looking at having me cancel my time off for the F2F.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Shit. Even if one is in an "exempt" position, aren't there some legal limits? Much ~ma, Toddson.

I'm taking time out from work to play on the board for a while. The real killer is that there's one department in my office that has first call on any and all resources - their staff spend a lot of time sitting around and chatting, going out for long lunches and cigarette breaks. And I'm consistently putting in nine-hour days (which adds up after a few months), working at least one Sunday a month, and my boss has been trying to get more out of me.
I think I need a new job. Hell, I KNOW I need a new job.
How's the job market in SF?

It's been getting better. What kind of work are you in?

I've been in the nonprofit area for a long time, working for small to smallish associations doing graphic design, designing and running the web site, some editing for the monthly journal, and a little low-level tech support (a large portion of it is making sure everything's plugged in and turned on).
I'm also getting tired of DC - the heat, the humidity, the insane costs, the public transit system that seems to be staggering under the load, the stodginess.
I checked the find your spot web site ... they keep telling me I should move to Milwaukee.

The insane costs are here, too. Here's a site for higher education jobs. I know there are sites for non-profit jobs but I don't know the names/URLs. [link]

Toddson! You must come the the F2F. It's not negotiable. The word non-profit does not mean "take advantage of the people willing to work hard."

Thanks - I'll have to start doing some serious looking.
