A New Job
Not to steal Leonieke’s thunder, but I must report that I too am going to be starting a new job (this was the cryptic “big decision” that I wrote about last week). Sorry I was so vague, but I didn’t want to write about it, and potentially have word get back to my bosses before I had officially given them notice.
My job will be at a different company than the one I currently work at. Similar job duties, with a few extra ones like minor editing, putting out an occasional newsletter, and maintaining a section of the company’s website. I’m more interested in these new duties, since they are the ones that have the most potential for me in terms of where I would like to go with my career—editing, writing, and/or web work.
It’s still considered an entry level job, but I haven’t been in the working world TOO long, and I will of course be making more than I am currently. I only hope that this job allows me to have some exciting opportunities, because it will be a little scary starting at a new place filled with people I don’t know.
I’ll miss the rapport I’ve come to have with many of the long-time staff here at the Library, but I think, at least for the time being, that it is time for me to try my hand somewhere else. I’ve worked here for almost 5 years—2 as a student, and almost 3 as a staff member.
Wish me luck, I start on the 16th of August!

Congratulations!!!

I wish I could say I was doing something spiffy like writing the Great American Novel, but I’m really not.
I guess that’ll make it more interesting to see where I wind up in 5-10 years ;)
For the time being, it’s mostly about the increase in pay and possibly the additional skills.
Thanks for all the congratulations, everyone! :)

lol Jennifer, didn’t know you were an English major too :)
you’ll never know where us anglophiles end up!
I never picked English as a conscious decision, but I do seem to be more interested in Historical Syntax than the bothersome Literature ;)

That’s cool, I didn’t know you were an English major as well! I seem to be more of a Germanophile though—I suppose because it’s less common. :)
Oh and don’t go encouraging Kevin. He is FULL of bad puns, and once you get him going, there is no stopping him!
