Thoughts of the day….
Friday, June 5th, 2009From May 21, 2009…. yeah I’m slow on posting… I’m in a mood now though.
While I am not consistent in writing, I do love to write and feel a need to do some expression of creativity frequently. One of these days I’ll actually post these online for others to read.
Today it’s how actually appreciated I feel. My boss was trying to find something on a co-worker’s office who is out this week on vacation. Said co-worker has a system that only she really knows well and I only have a vague clue about. My boss started musing out loud about trying once more to upgrade my position from a Range 8 (not much pay) to something better so that I’ll stick around longer. She knows that I’m on the look out for something more challenging, that will better use my education and skills and pays more. She has told me from day 1 that she knows I’m only around until something better comes along and she is hopeful that she can create something for me so she can keep me.
Interestingly enough this isn’t’ the first time just this week she’s mentioned working on a way to upgrade me. Perhaps it’s because she’s been interviewing for other spots that are open in the unit and hiring people is in the front of her mind.
Only time will tell as to if I stay or go find something else. A headhunter actually contacted me for a technical writing position. Unfortunately it’s a 3-4 month contract that could turn into a 1 year contract and then who knows if I’d have a job. I have stable employment even if the pay is low I’m not going to trade a stable job with benefits with the uncertainty of potentially not having a job in 3 months just for more money per hour.
