At the moment, my big hang up is the job I have my eye on is a gov't position, so only 10 holidays/year. I have over 20 where I am now, plus 24 vacation days + 18 sick days.
Oh, jealous. I went from being super-spoiled in the Peace Corps (24 days off a year which I only had to use for international travel, since I could always make visiting my fellow volunteers "work-related" plus Moldovan holidays, which believe you me are plentiful, plus basically unlimited sick days) to state government (8.19 hrs/month vacation after five years plus 11 days holiday plus 12 days sick leave). I can never accumulate any vacation. After volunteering in NOLA in March, unless they let me use Community Service Leave, I'll have about an hour left till the next month.
In year 1 of current job. 2 years in job before that. 11 years at company before that (3 different jobs, but 7 years at the last one). I suspect some more hopping before I settle down, but I don't expect any hopping for next year. Teachers are getting laid off around here like whoa. I've heard of at least 275 layoffs in just 2 districts in the past 2 weeks. My district has not made any announcements about layoffs, but they have until end of March to decide.
I am job-hopper. Sometimes it's actually by my choice. Usually not. It's a total behavior thing with me. I get bored, start fucking up, and then get asked to leave. It's dumb and total self-destructive. I am determined to keep my job here until I finish my BA. I do know, however, that my job here is secure so long as my boss never figures out how to work her speakerphone.
Argh. The office manager just an broadcast email in all caps to everyone demanding that certain forms be sent to her today. Two of these forms require my supervisor's signature, and he is off all this week. One of the forms I know for a fact is not due until Monday. It's very hard not to tell her to STFU.
And he's on Ellen today!
Hmm. I wonder if she'll talk about teh gay. I'll have to catch that on Youtube. Or, you know, TiVo.
I will let you know shortly.
It's daytime tv with Jesse again!
It's really unfair to make me try to troubleshoot a PC when I've spent all week getting used to doing work on a mac. I don't speak PC, and dealing with fucked up ones? When I have 5 minutes warning before the presentation? Not endearing them to me at all.
I'm awake too early today, with a migraine. But not as early as you, Perkins. I hope you got back to sleep.
I did, after doing the migraine am I going to puke or not thing for about half an hour. Then I overslept, so I'm going to be late, because I need coffee before I leave the house.
DOH-tastic: My Little Homer Simpson
Sometimes you just want to see Homer Simpson as a little pony.
I’m not saying that this is one of those times… but I’m showing you the damn picture, anyway.
