Shortest job search ever...
...and that makes me happy.
The other place that wanted to offer me a job two weeks ago had another opening, so they offered that one to me instead. So now I'll be working as an Associate Policy Examination Analyst at the Worker's Compensation Insurance Ratings Bureau of California.
Yeah.
It'll probably be pretty dull, but they're a lot more flexible and laid-back than my other stressed-out job, which is definitely what I'm looking for right now. 8 hours a day instead of 10, more vacation and the ability to take time off unpaid before I acrue that vacation (so Kat and I can go to Ithaca over her spring break in April), and somewhat more money than I was making before. All of this makes me willing to accept sitting in a cube-farm.
I fully aknowledge that this is a job, not a career (probably, anyway). So I'll be spending my time at this job thinking about what I'd rather be doing and what grad-school I need to go back to in order to be doing it (thanks, Dad). I'm back to the thinking that I'll need to do SOMETHING more with regards to education in order to get a job I really enjoy. The problem once again becomes, as it has always been, what would I rather be doing? Not sure yet, but at least I'll get plenty of time to think about it while getting paid.
