For awhile my answer was learning my job. Now my answer Is something like refocusing my job and changing some aspect of the job to fit changing needs. The next job I want doesn't really exists yet.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds really good, Connie!
Woo possibly better fit Dublin possibility!
My last one-on-one with my boss she made noises about not knowing what my goals are and I told her that I feel like I could be doing more within my current scope and don't really want to take on much outside of that and she kind of argued with me that maybe my accounts DON'T need more attention. So I don't know. But that's probably not really an issue until my review in, I think, May. Pretty sure it's before my official hire-date anniversary in June.
Of course, right now I'm all "why can't I just be on vacation all the time?" but I assume I will get over that at some point. I do like being able to pay my mortgage, etc.

The next job I want doesn't really exists yet.
And that's the other thing - I've only been here two years and this particular department has been re-organized twice already, new positions have been created all over and other departments have entirely disappeared, so I don't feel like having a clear career path laid out would necessarily be helpful.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The next job I want is, I'm pretty certain, the one I interviewed for this morning.
Which was a subsequent round for the thing I asked for ~ma for a week or so back. And I think it's all gone well, except that I'm exhausted and brain-fried enough that I don't really know anything for sure. Except I'm sure that I went yarn shopping and had tacos on the way home. That's the right answer no matter how it went, yes?

Holy moly, I have to put on a dang conference tomorrow. Please lie to me and tell me there's plenty of time between now and then to finish everything that needs to get done. Argh!
Also? TGFCoffee

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Plenty of time, Burrell!
I'll need to remember that paragraph for my next application. Though I'll remove the word grok, though that's a surprisingly useful word.
Maybe leave in grok and take out dick? But I don't know your audience.

Good point, I should probably remove the colloquialisms and up the business fluff factor.

Well, bless a duck. Just got my rental renewal notice. They want to jack up my rate by $220/month. Over the past 7 years I've NEVER had that much of a leap in rent.
Underlines why I'm buying the townhouse. (still no word on the appraisal). From the estimates from my loan officer - mortgage, insurance, taxes, and HOA come to less than $100 more than I'm paying now. Then there are the non-monitary pros of owning my own place. I can paint. I can change anything around that I want. I will live in a neighborhood where neighbors know eachother. I will have a back yard. I won't avoid inviting people over.
Everytime I have the OMG am I doing the right thing, I think of those things above. I think of not worrying year after year over what I'll need to pay. I think of having buffistas visit.
