Feeling grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat about your job?
Because I am!
So basically I do exciting things with contracts, i.e. I make them, print them, and mail them. Like I said, it's exciting.
It's also very well paid. No, there's no question, I get an amazing amount of money to perform a tremendously enthralling and dynamic job function. I am truly blessed.
I like to peruse job announcements not because I'd ever contemplate leaving my veritable dream of a job, but rather because I want to laugh at those less fortunate than myself, who must take lesser jobs not out of desire but out of pure unadulterated desperation.
Today, I found a job which I have reposted here for your amusement:
Project/Contract Administration Officer
Property Services; Housing Portfolio; Brisbane
So basically exactly what I do but with a different accent.
Typical for Australia, no tertiary qualifications (university) are mentioned, which basically means they're not required. Part of the Brisbane City Council (Department of Public Works), which is kind of a nice way of saying hell would have to break loose before you ever lost this job.
Study and research assistance scheme to support lifelong learning. Regular training and development opportunities. Corporate Health Program including free flu vaccinations and discounts on gym memberships. Up to 12.75% employer superannuation contribution with a choice of superannuation types.
36.25 hour working week (7.25 hours a day), 4 weeks vacation a year, with more time available if you want to sacrifice a bit of salary. Oh yes, the salary. Per year: $55108 - $60597, which works out to $2112.30 - $2322.70 a fortnight. Total remuneration (salary, benefits, etc) is $62873 - $69135.
Gosh I love my job! I can't wait to go back!
