Quarter-life crisis ignite!
sorry for the lack of updates. i really don't have any other excuse other than just sheer laziness. does anyone still read me?
i've been sent back to my undergraduate days. i'm sacrificing my friday night in order to finish my paper so that i can play all weekend and most of next week due to it being my birthday on monday. funny, i seem to be celebrating on just about every other day than the actual day. and this is really the first birthday where i'm not into just getting sloppy drunk and wanting to have a big party. just take me out and buy me dinner, that's really the best present anyone could give me. but i digress. so yes, as much as i'd like to believe that i am that academically inclined as to write a paper for personal enhancement, not so much in my case. i just started back to school, and it's definitely keeping me busy. i'm actually forced not to procrastinate b/c it's not as easy to schedule a whole day to devote to one assignment. a lot of group work is required. which surprised me. it's almost a pain in the ass. half of us live in CST and the other the half in EST. makes it real hard to coordinate getting together. lots of e-mails.
so work is super busy. 3000 letters went out to applicants to let them know that their file was incomplete and if they want an appt. for the job fair, they need to get it done. well guess who they get to call to find out what they're missing. yup, me. and my direct line is posted in bold numbers for everyone and their mother to call. and have they been calling. i have 30 second conversations, and i've got 4 voicemails. by the time i clear those out, i've got 4 more. neverending. luckily the job fair is around the corner. there's going to be an opportunity for me to apply for a position within the department that i want to move into. that's the big sucky thing about government jobs, you can't just be moved into a different position, it has to be posted, you have to apply, be chosen for an interview and then go through that whole process again. they should let people who already there make transitional changes and then post whatever vacancy is left. this position would not be a promotion, just a shift to a different department. same pay scale. no sense. but whatever. we'll see what happens.
well i'm tired. and if you really want to know, you can ask.
