Gah! This is SO CLOSE to the job I want, down to the organization and program, but it's a little too high up and managerial. [link]

smonster, that is so incredibly you. You need to figure out a way to position yourself to meet the requirements.

FWIW, I'm deeply involved in LEED and EnergyStar as it applies to corporate occupiers and can access info on how it affects owners/investors. Will be more than happy to feed you anything I can that might help.

Well, part of the problem is that I'm not quite qualified, but part is that I don't want that position. I want something lower on the totem pole, actually doing work, maybe an assistant crew manager or something.

And thanks! I will keep that in mind.

smonster, you would be VERY WRONG not to at least try for that job. And you wouldn't want wee Frankie to grow up in a home with a delinquent mama, now would you?

(edit in reference to followup post: never mind, if you don't actually want it. But I'll be wishing for the actual right job to come up. Or for this one to be tweakable for more hands-on, less managerial stuff.)

Oh yeah, if it's not quite what you want that's different. But the offer stands.

Thanks, y'all.

I'm chatting with B and he just wrote the loveliest intro email for me to the warehouse manager over there. Gah. Crush continues unabated.

Smonster, I really don't see why you shouldn't apply. it might be a little too high up, but they may be willing to hire you as is, or even for another position.

I'd say, apply for the job, smonster. If nothing else, look at it as an opportunity to practice your interview skills, and also a chance to make the acquaintance and do a little networking with those people.

vw, do you feed Toto only dry food? If not, it is really easy to mix a fair bit of water in with some canned food. You could even put some chicken broth over kibble. When we were in the desert, once in a while one of the cats would get overheated, panting and whatnot. So I would take some put bouillion in ice water for them to drink. I would also wipe them down with a cool, wet, washcloth to bring the body temp. down a bit.

Good points, all. Maybe they are or will be looking to hire crew people. B is thinking about applying, too. Well, that'll light a fire under my ass to get my resume in order.

Maybe they are or will be looking to hire crew people.

Definitely something to keep in mind. You can apply and maybe they'll realize how perfect you'd be. For this position or for another.
