Open letters/Confessions/Vents?
I can't remember what day we normally do these... But I have one so I thought I would open it up.
It's a little bit of everything. I have been pretty unhappy with my job lately and where it is going (or not going). On a whim, I applied for a job I found online last night and now I am obsessing over it. I think it would be a great opportunity for me and now I am super nervous/anxious about it. Not to mention if I do get called for an interview - Then I will be super nervous/anxious about leaving my current job...
Re: Open letters/Confessions/Vents?
I hear you about the job! Lately I have had this intense urge to just be a stay at home mom. I'm finishing up my bachelors this semester...and everyone is asking what I want to do when I graduate. My honest answer is stay home, take care of my house, and raise my family. THAT's what I want to do. I want to bake, and clean, and paint my kitchen, and help my kids with their homework without being so tired that I get all grumpy doing it. I want to go on field trips with my kids classes and help out with school parties.
I don't like where I'm at work-wise, I have no ambition to look for anything new, I just want Matt to get hired permanently where he's at so we can see how feasible it would be for me to either quit or go down to part time. (He was on a 60-day contract...that was up last week so we're really keeping our fingers crossed that they hire him in on a permanent basis! Every day is just keeping our fingers crossed and hoping.)
Good luck with your applications!!! Don't be too anxious...if you get an interview, hopefully you'll just know if it is right for you or not! Let us know what you hear.
Ladies, I wish you all the best with your jobs. Madam A: good luck! let us know what happens! I love mine, most days, but it can be stressful and I am anticipating a stressful year.
I confess that I hope to be able to stay home once we do have kids. Don't jump to conclusions, I'm not preggers. But I have the much better health insurance and when DH realized it, he said something like, "wow, maybe we won't be able to have you stay home." What a bummer! But we have time. I don't want to get pregnant for at least a year.
My other vent is why, after all these years, am I getting cramps now. Sitting through my workshop training all day today was horrible!
my vent is that we're stuck in the Kauai airport... since 9AM. Our flight was suppposed to take off for Maui at 10:40 but the fuel cap was leaky and they made everyone de-plane. Thankfully they are placing everyone on other flights free-of-charge. Don't get me wrong, I am SO glad they found the problem and are making other arrangements... but this is a tiny airport, not too many other flights. And the passengers witj a flight connecting to LA were redirected first. S
So now instead of 4 full days in Maui we have 3.
Okay, vent over I guess. Nesting via my Droid is kind of annoying but I guess it'll have to keep me occupied for a few more hours.
praying DH and I get to Maui safely soon.
I'm totally with you ladies on the job front. I really don't like my job at all but it pays the bills and at this point, that's all I can ask for. When we moved up here I was out of work for about 4-6 weeks and this was the highest paying job that I was offered...which was already a little less than what I had been making, so I really didn't have a choice. It's not remotely in an industry that I'm interested in. The company is good and my department is pretty cool, but the job is BORING! Ugh.
ooo good luck on the job! i hope you get it!!!
im in the "im bored at my job" boat. but i did just have a convo with my boss yesterday about this and he agrees that i need to branch out more in my job duties and do more strategic planning stuff rather than just day-to-day break/fix IT crap. which im actually excited about....i cant keep doing the same stuff every day or else im going to have to find something else quick because i dont do well with bored.

I am a gluten-free, gun-toting wife! :P
I love you, Daddy...2/24/1953 to 2/13/2011
I can't stand my job! I learned quickly that I don't like this field, but have been stuck, because it's what I'm qualified for and it pays too well!
It's even harder now that I started my library grad program this summer, which I know is what I want to do. I don't want to wait two years to start!
Good luck on the job--I did the same thing, and I will be very upset if I don't at least get an interview!
