- I am so annoyed: there was a job posted on the University's website a couple of weeks ago that I was sort of interested in, but not really. However, this morning I decided to apply for it, because I'm having the worst week ever, and I am really, really fed up here. It's the first thing I've seen in MONTHS to even think about applying for. So I pulled up the listing this morning, and worked on my cover letter off and on. Then when I hit apply, I got a weird error message and thought it had just timed out (we have to log in). Nope, the job got pulled; I suspect they hired internally. I want to scream.
- Aside from university/college websites, I have no idea how to look for a job. Mostly because I don't know what I want. I know that I want a job that doesn't make me work nights/mornings/weekends for weeks on end, and that I can leave behind when I go home for the day. But if you put that in a search engine, nothing comes up.
-Yet another former co-worker is pregnant. All of my drinking buddies are dropping like flies. I swear, if you are having difficulty getting pregnant, you and I should go out drinking - it's worked for three people.
- My husband won't give me a straight answer about the Big E on Monday. I need to put in for the day, guy. Just decide already. Grrr...

Oh, that sucks Rock. I hope you can get some satisfaction soon out of this. How frustrating.
I've tried Indeed, but I haven't hit on the right search terms yet. (Though I have used slightly less crazy terms than the one if my first post, ) I'll definitely keep trying though.
Also, I have to go back to Phoenix in a few weeks for another stupid conference. And miss yet another holiday, with no comp day for it. Plus, they don't want to have to pay any of the non-exempt people to go, and the only exempt people who haven't said no yet are the ones I'd rather put hot pins in my eyes than spend 3 days with. So I may have to go solo, which pisses me off. If I have to give up a fucking holiday, then you can pay someone an extra hundred bucks to go with me. Assholes.
On the plus side, my husband finally said yes to the Big E on Monday, so yay! Copious amounts of fair food for the win!

I have to say, the Dunkin breakfast sandwiches have improved significantly over the years.
And I guess it's legal, or they couldn't get away with it. Their logic is that you're scheduled to work, so it's not a day off. My boss has tried to fight this before and gotten nowhere. It's really effing frustrating. But this place makes no effing sense anyway, so...
