I'm ready to be on vacation again. Seriously. I enjoy working, but there are so many things I would be able to keep on top of at home if I could find the right part time position...or if I won the lottery...of course, to win, one must play.
I'm feeling very frustrated. I had an interview for a full time position within my current company today. It falls within my area of expertise. Unfortunately, there is also a candidate who is already working within the department, and she is a strong candidate for the job. I wish there were some way that they could indicate when there is already a front runner for the job, so I could save myself the trouble. Don't get me wrong, the interviewer was very nice...but I view it as a bad sign when she repeatedly says, "What about a job in _____? That seems like it would be a great fit for your skill set."
I recently received an email link to a job posting that is perfect for me...three states away. This is turning out to be the story of my career lately. I know it is partially because my standards are high in some areas. I am not willing to relocate. I would really like to stay with my company. It has to pay at least a certain amount and be within a reasonable commute from my home. But these have always been my standards, and somehow I have always had the right opportunity come up eventually. And some of them have come up in horrible economic times, so I am unwilling to accept that as a justification. I have been looking for a LONG time now, and nothing is working out. I'm out of ideas. Help!
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm seriously considering buying a few lottery tickets on my way home tonight.
