(no subject)
Work is in a weird place right now. I applied for a different position that is a step towards getting out of specific medical stuff and more into research (Basically it has to do with securing grants/funding). It likely pays more and is in downtown Seattle, which is quite a plus.
I was open with my boss about this, which prompted him to mention-somewhat earlier than he'd planned-that he wants me to succeed our current team lead in his position since he's stepping down. That's a move towards a leadership role, which is good, and a (small, I think) increase in pay. He wants a commitment from me on it, which I understand, but I'm not sure if he's telling me to withdraw my application from the other job yet.
I don't plan to at this time. There's no guarantee they'll even call me back, but I'd like to learn more about it if they do. I certainly think going the lead route is right if I wind up staying here for the time being, but I don't like the idea of it being a chain on my ankle. It's irritating to be in a position of possibly having to choose between something you know is sure and something else that /could/ be better but is no guarantee.
I don't know. The experience is good, but I almost feel like taking it is an implicit agreement to be here another year. Not sure how I feel about that.
I'd also like it if my damn loan would send me my 1098-E for 2013 already. I feel so sure I will have to pay this year due to moving up an income bracket, and if that's the case I'd at least like to know and see how much I have to pull out asap.
That's my boring adult life right now
