that position has been or will soon be posted. my bossboss encouraged me to apply for it. she said i had the same chance as anyone else and i have to jump through the same hoops.
darlingones, i want this like you wouldn’t believe. are any of you skilled resume writers?

the job description wasn’t on the bossman’s desk, it was on the bossboss’ desk. i’ve decided to cool it and not obsess for a bit. she might offer me the job, or eventually she’ll have to bring it up to me, we seem to have a pretty cool work relationship so i think she’ll be [...]

i just got done interviewing this guy for a project i’m working on here at work. it totally ruled. this is what i miss most about being a newspaper reporter, just being able to ask people questions and get paid for it. it was like my job to just talk to people and then write [...]

tomorrow i have to go into work and do battle, again. i need to ask questions that are going to make me uncomfortable and probably my boss too. but the not knowing is eating me up, you know? i just feel really like they hung me out to dry once they let the co-worker go. [...]

so the review has come and gone. i’m not too thrilled with the outcome. though sister #4 pointed out that i got a 8-9% raise. to me it means instead of making 17K less than my coworker, i make 14K less. so yeah, not too happy.
i’m not sure what to do yet. the review portion [...]

ok darling ones, i don’t ask you for much. but if you don’t have much to do around 1pm CST, i could really use some of good juju sent my way. i go in for my yearly review and what happens there will determine the course of my life.

it’s clearly a case of be careful what you wish for. after all my whining, i’m going to have my review on tuesday. anyone wanna take any guesses on how much sleep i’ll lose between now and then?

for the first time in my entire life, i am going to ask for a raise. this is not sitting well with my creative, artistic soul. it’s making me feel all dirty all this thinking about and talking about money.
i feel like a hypocrit. well, i am a hypocrit a lot of the time [...]

ok, for a delicious change of pace, i am going to be calm and rational. i will have my moment in the sun and i will pitch my ideas. it will be ok. it will. i am calm, rational, savvy and swank. i will get what i want.

well, no news on the work front.
my soon-to-be-ex-boss is behind my idea that we split the web and print copy. i am hoping that drew, the grand-high muckity muck, buys the idea. do you have any idea how much i’d love to be in charge of all web content? do you?
as it is, i just [...]

yay! i got the job. be happy for me.

phew. it’s over. it wasn’t nearly as heinous as i thought it’d be. i was worried. too nervous for words. now all i gotta do is write a tutorial for them. piece of cake, right? i am not too worried about that portion. i’ve got gobs of people who will help me if i need [...]

tomorrow’s the big day. i have my interview with the head of marketing. i am trying my best to stay calm. ol’ bill told me to be myself and everything will work out fine. i am hoping to call on my inner reserves of confidence. sometimes it pops up when i least expect it. also, [...]

well, one interview down, one to go. gah! today went wonderfully, fantastically well. which scares the living piss out of me. because you know, i had the dream. you know the good interview that went wonderfully and the bad interview where i wore pajamas. blech! i hate waiting. i wish i could know now. i [...]

ok. i’m done. the resume is printed, the cover letter signed, the clips chosen. i will hand this information over and the rest is in the hands of the fates, right? if it’s meant to be, it will happen. but i am worried. i want this job. i want this job more than any job [...]
