Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Yeah! I feel like I'm delurking from myself, so why not come in here too!

Olly olly oxanfree! (however that's spelled)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty lurky these days so here's an update:

Lost my apartment and am crashing with a series of wonderful friends while I temp and job hunt (landlords don't like giving leases to temps -reasonable enough on their part). It's taking longer than expected, but doesn't it always?

If you know of a legal secretary, executive assistant, television, or theatre administration job in NYC profile addy is good 😄

You're all in my heart xoxo

Trudy, good luck with the job and apartment hunts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm about to be where Trudy is, but I haven't decided if I'll go back to Jamaica for a while. My parents could stand to be taken care of for a while, and my sister is doing it all by herself. I just need to be employed there too, and I don't even know if there's a BA market there!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow ita, that's a big change to consider. How does one do a multinational job search?

Just to see what would come up I googled 'Business Analyst jobs in Jamaica' and a few came up including this one

Where one of the qualifications is a:

"Bachelor's degree in Rosiness, Finance, Information Systems or related discipline from a recognized tertiary institution."

What in the world is "Rosiness?" And what's a "tertiary institution?"

Rosiness

Either it's a typo for business, or this is one optimistic, always-look-at-the-bright-side company.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And what's a "tertiary institution?"

Basically, a college or a university. In many (most?) Commonwealth countries, school education runs you through primary school (elementary) and secondary school (high). Education post-secondary, of course, is tertiary.

Or racist/shadist?

The plan would be to amass some money so I start do another job search here, but it's all very nebulous. Any move is a big move.

Ahhh! That makes perfect sense.
