Tough one, Sue. I hate when that happens.
I also was gonna say: I don't think I have ever had a job that was important, and I am grateful for that. I think that would weigh heavily on me. When I was looking for work this last time, I always said I wanted to be a cog in a big machine, and that's pretty much what I am now. And it's not an evil machine, so far as I can tell, so I'm satisfied.
This year there's a big push to Emphasize the Employees which means a lot of progression path stuff and mentoring and whatnot which I appreciate in the abstract but, when you get right down to it, I just want to do my job and get paid for it.
I am happiest in this job when I can just do the parts of it that are cog-like and be done at 5, but that so rarely happens.
Remember my resume question? I just want opinions on phrasing a job description. So, which is better? This:
I was responsible for scheduling, training, and supervising local crews for touring shows, University events and rental events. I also served as house lighting designer and master electrician. Designs included Dance Arts, Windham Hill's Winter Solstice Concerts, Branford Marsalis Quartet, George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars, and many more.
Or this:

In my current situation, I know the person who will be looking at the resume and I'm leaning toward the 2nd one.
I think the first one.
Eta: yeah, totally depends on the audience. They're both fine.
I'd go with the second one then.
Second one, in bullet point format, maybe.
Plot twist: a coworker drove me home, and I just had soup. I may perk up enough to head to the movie.
I think I will nap on the comfy couch in my office before I drive home. I had such a frustrating day that I went across the street and got a couple pieces of pizza and a root beer. Now I want to nap.
Too tired to know what I think of my work.
How exciting, Suzi. I'm trying to decide if I would be terrified on the helicopter ride. I do want to kayak through the canyon for sure.
