Choose Your Own Title
As I hinted at this morning, I thought that I might have some really good news for you this evening. The unfortunate thing is, I dont. There is also a good chance that there wont be any good news at all this week (unless something unforseen comes along).
On the previous Friday, I had gone and talked to my main boss about a position that was to be made available soon. It went well and I kind of felt that I had a really good shot at it. By the end of the next day, everyone I had told, made it seem like I had it and that it was in the bag. This morning, the woman who is leaving and whose shoes I would fill, came and talked to me for a little while. From that conversation, I got the impression that it was a done deal and that I would be in the office by the end of the day. No such luck. In fact, when I finally got around to talking to my main boss at the end of the day, I got the impression that I didnt have it and that someone else was being considered.
Now by all means this isnt a huge jump up, in fact I think its more of a side step suffle forward slightly kind of move. It really has nothing to do with computers at all (in the way I want) and is somewhat close to what I was doing at the job from hell last year. I dont REALLY want this as a career move, I want it to pay my bills so I dont have to worry about having my lights turned off on me.
So, it may be that I dont get the position, which is not a huge deal, but it does make me like my current job a little less and it will make going to work, harder now.
If something good does come of all this I will post it here.
