Ugs Times One Thousand

It's been a craptastic week thus far. ASIDE from wine night last night with SB. That was fun.

I never heard back from the place I was dreaming about being employed at. I called and sold myself as best I could, but they seemed to be looking for someone a bit more experienced in some areas than myself.

I threw a pity party for myself but no one came.

Today has been hellish. Thursdays are always busy regardless, but today, lets see, a main server was down that we NEED to work in order to post web items to, our other website wasn't saving any changes so that was QUITE frustrating to have completed everything only to see that all the hard work was immediately lost upon trying to save it, ETC ETC ETC.

Wit's end.

Now for a possibly good thing.

I am talking to a temp agency tomorrow morning to see if they can find something I would be interested in. To me it's like having a recruiter. I told them that I would need benefits for sure and that I could not dip below my current salary range. I also told them I would like to focus more on the IT skills on my resume rather than the fact that I can answer a phone like a rockstar. We shall see.

Week one of being minus a person at work - the most knowledgeable admin in our department - is almost over. One more week to go, then a long weekend at the parentals cottage with the boys.

I am so drained and in need of that respite.

Happy Thursday people!

You know I temped when I first moved to NYC. It was great because I could call the shots. I was a trained legal secy and a fast typist. I got all the work I could have possibly gotten for a premium$$. You have to find what you want to do. Hang in there. It will happen.

Hey girl, I am wonderful at pity parties!!!!!!!!!! The rainbows are coming--just hang in there!

Sorry I didn't know about the pity party. I could have made some great contributions right now. Also, I love your creative vocabulary. I've got to remember "craptastic" for sure!!

If I got an invitation, I would have come to your pity party to attempt to console you!
Everybody has bad days, kid. Everybody gets disappointed. The secret to not getting depressed when one dream falls through is to have another one waiting in the wings. Trust me. It works!
I'm sorry you're a bit blue today! Really!

Just keep counting down the days. I'm with ya, on needing some time off. I'm again blaming the full moon for all the chaos in my life.
And I would have shown up to the pity party had you invited me.
