The Random Dilettante

On tuesday I should hear about the IT job I interviewed for last Thursday & whether or not I’m hired. I can’t wait to just KNOW either way. I’ve decided that if I am offered the job, I’m definitely going to take it. Not only because of the money either. Mattie left a comment on my last post that really resounded within me and it almost instantly made up my mind on what to do. My job right now doesn’t appreciate me in the least, and I know for a fact they think they are “doing me a favor” by giving me the new position with the after school program. That’s why they offered as little money as they did, because they knew I “needed” it. Here I thought that by going to them and explaining to them my situation with Andrew deploying and my choice to still want to stay in the agency would prompt them to help me out…if just a little. But all it really did was show them a weak spot to exploit. And that’s fucked up people. Seriously.

Why work for people that make you feel that way? I’m better than that.

So hopefully Tuesday I hear about the IT job, because I will accept it immediately and then immediately turn around and tell the people I work with now to take their job and shove it!

If I do get the job, I won’t get the break I was looking forward too, but at least I’ll be working normal daytime hours, and working in a job that I enjoy because it’s all about technical shit I LOVE. I’ve excelled at the job I’m at now, but it’s really a lot of domestic stuff I do everyday…and yeah, I can cook, I can clean, I have a good demenor with kids…but it really doesn’t let me express much else. Glenda is SO MUCH MORE than just cooking & cleaning, and I feel that my job right now doesn’t see that…or even care.

I care though. And that’s what truly counts. This IT job will challenge me and encourage me to move forward….and that’s just something I cannot pass up.

Wish me luck!! They said my interview went really well, so hopefully that meant something.
