Oddly enough, I really want a steak.
Mostly, I want to sit outside and have a nice lunch.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm wondering, since I've never been anything but someone's dumbass assistant/secretary/minion, can I even think about applying for management jobs? Will anyone even take that seriously?
Honestly, I think that will be tough. I think you best shot would be to find a place where advancement seems possible.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's an interesting article about Craig's List on MediaGuardian today--all about how it's boggling the minds of traditional media advertising execs.

( I don't know jack about getting jobs BUT)
Allyson, with all your coordinating experience, I think you'd have a better chance than most with an admin/asst/minion background. I'm in a similar stuck, but my experience isn't so broad that I could make that leap even if launched from a catapult.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Depends what kind of management job. Managing who? Or what? I mean, it seems like it would be relatively easy for you to move into like an office manager job.

A lot of the jobs I'm applying for now have titles like "Program Manager" or "Administrative Specialist," and they seem like they're made for people who are good at the administrative side of things, but are trying to make the jump out of the clerical world.
ETA or Office Manager jobs, which I avoid like the plague because I figure I'd hate the work.
Universities seem to have a lot of these types of jobs, FWIW.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I know that I want to make the jump into media. Maybe an industry job, here.

ION, is it crappy that I'm not at this going away party at work for someone I've smiled at in the hallway but never had an actual conversation with? They're giving speeches. That's no fun.

Oh, that's not necessarily "management," in the way I think of it. I mean, you wouldn't be applying for PR Director jobs or whatever, but there are other jobs in the same department you could get, I'm sure.
