Lemming

So, if any of you have wondered where I've been lately -- I blame it all on the new computer. I got a new laptop (read: amazing) before Christmas, and thus have lost all of my old blog contacts, phone numbers, anything of importance (read: Taxes from last year.)

Thus the lack of contact with the outside world for like a month.

Happy Birthday Lauren (a little late I know... I'm really behind this year.) Is there a date for the shower yet?

When are these recruiters going to call me? I'm totally in the process of finding a new job (IE not in Rochester NY.) I'm supposed to have at least one phone interview this week. I've found that talking to recruiters is MUCH more effective than applying to random jobs on Monster or HotJobs or something. Granted, I did the 3 or 4 months of applying to jobs and found the current one.

I'm hoping I will be out of Rochester before May. But, you never know where it will go. It might take longer, or I might find a job tomorrow. Time will tell. I love the fact that probably half the people I work with are actively looking for a new position. Management has got to know. But apparently things that people will be happy when all the problems are solved. In reality, the problems will be solved when people are happy.

I'm not looking for much in a new job. Just some career options, someone to contribute to my 401K, and maybe a little bit of appriciation for their employees. I'm not looking for another google in terms of company satisfaction. But I'm also not looking for a place where 99.9% of the people are unhappy with the company (like the current one.) It's really sad that the only people that seem happy with the company are those that are still temps and are just feel lucky to have a job. I haven't talked to anyone else that is happy on a daily basis. It's really sad and pathetic. I guess I really was missing something, and just ignored all the signs, especially the big fat blaring one of the fact that everyone else was leaving. I guess following the crowd really is a good idea sometimes. QED I'm a lemming
