So, disappointingly, I didn't land that job that I wanted. I was under maybe a several day minor depression, which hasn't happened since I was LAST job-hunting. Buuuut, I'm pretty much over it now.
My current job is still grueling. I'm still doing the jobs of five different people, while getting paid the salary range of a janitor, with not even the hope of getting paid more than a slightly more experienced janitor. My bosses think that it's in their kind Christian generosity that they offer me a raise from $8.50/hr to $10.00 an hour in about two years, so that I can live "in comfort". Kinda makes me sick really. So that's why I'll be actively seeking out new employment. Sorry, but even the experience that I got while working here isn't worth the prospect of a lousy $10 an hour.
I'm soon going to be the production manager of our main shop, as we seem to gobble up local shop after local shop. I figure it's good to leave while we're growing, as I kind of foresee our shop biting off more than we can chew, and then crash and burn a little while later. Just a gut feeling. I don't want to be involved when that happens. The only reason that we're growing at such an enormous rate is that they underpay their designers by at least half of their actual worth, which allows them to undercharge for design work, and reap in all of the projects after design is complete. Oh well. Maybe when I leave, they'll see fit to hire someone on at a salary that they actually deserve. And I'll be gone soon enough.
For now, I'm focused on my vacation to San Francisco from the June 16th to the 26th, as it's getting ever closer and closer. Can't tell you how much I need this, so I'll drop the new job hunt until *after* vacation... just because I don't want to work nonstop for another year without a real break.
Sadly, I'll be missing Albufurque this year because of my interstate vacation. It's sad, because I'd really rather not miss the largest gathering of furries in the state. San Francisco planning came first though, time had been taken off at work *months* in advance, so it was irreversible. Ahh well. There's always next year.
And I'm sure that I'll see plenty of people at RMFC. Speaking of which, I'm happy to say that we'll be going again this year. Had quite a bit of fun last year, and I can't wait to see what kind of fun they're offering this year. We'll be getting a room at the hotel, which begs the question: anyone need a roommate? Will need to know before August 1st so that I can order two beds instead of one. Only rule is no drugs, really. :P
So, just chugging along, pursuing better things in life. Life is good, but I'm ambitious, and am in search of an even greater life.
