step by step
Aug. 30th, 2009 08:42 pmSenior VP has agreed to be my reference, although she 'hopes you will reconsider'. She will be in the office on Tuesday, and will likely tell COMB precisely what he's about to do. I fail to care.
While discussing with ashtalet today, we came up with a very accurate summary - Every contractor we've dealt with all week has said to me "Wow - I don't know how you put up with that crap!" - and then I thought "You know, I don't either. Perhaps I will not any more".
I'm not going to quit any time soon (although I have run the numbers and I could survive on unemployment if he were to suddenly fly off the handle and fire me - as emotionally appealing as this sounds I intend to try and avoid that). But I have updated the resume and cover letter, and started looking again at NFP organizations that I have targeted in the past. I have replaced the "Professional Memberships" - where I listed the International Wenches Guild, the Costumer's Guild, etc. In it's place I have "Volunteer Work" - and have listed my work with the Red Door and rabbit rescue, I-Go, the condo board, and conventions.
A group of us went to the Museum of Science and Industry today, mostly for the Harry Potter exhibit. Cool costumes and props, and overpriced souvenirs. I'm personally a fan of Ravenclaw myself - we decided that they don't get as much press in the books and films is because they are too smart to get into those kinds of messes. In one of those reminders that everyone really DOES know me, a musician we met at the Four Kingdoms Faire last year was working the exhibit (So his accent was marginally less awful than the rest of the staff) recognized jcw_da_dmg and I and stopped to chat.
Tonight I have finished re-tinting my hair (got it cut yesterday) and am curled up with a book and PBS.
