So I know many of you are keeping your job-hunting karma to yourselves

[wordplay]

and I totally approve that strategy *looks sideways at sanj* but I have just applied for a new job. I'll take whatever scraps you can toss my way because, really - my benefits are fantastic, I generally like the people I work with OK (and some more than OK, because at what other job will I have two fantastic fangirls? *clings to darthfox and ellen_fremedon*), etc, it's just that it makes me cry on a regular basis, and today was one day too many, apparently.

Those of you who are colleagues as well as friends: down low, obv, please. Thanks. :D


****

Also, though? In 3 hours I will have a longtimegone of my very own. \o/

No, see, I give you some of mine, and you give me some of yours, and there's a whole zen-tastic loaves-and-fishes thing where we each get more job karma that way.

*hug*

Well, hon, you know you have a whole heaping helping of whatever I've got. Whee good times yay. :-|

Sending good vibes your way! :-)

I'm really sorry your gig makes you cry. Mine has only done that once, and it was Microsoft's fault, so I can't get my head around your being so unhappy. But I hope whatever the new thing is, you get it and it goes well and makes you happier.

Related, while I've still got you doing the scuttlebutt thing: any idea what the upcoming Mandatory Meeting with D of R is about?

[wordplay.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do and I am angry enough at him right now that I can't even talk about it, largely because he barked at me today during RCC and, just, urgh. The hostility level right now is so high and I feel like I'm in the middle of a big pile of unhappiness. It sounds like you are well-isolated and dude, you shouldn't move a muscle if that's working for you!

As long as the meeting is nothing I have to worry about, I'm good with non-muscle-movement. :-P

It's to do with the merit review process, mostly, I think. He's going to announce some changes that are mostly unimportant but completely hysterical (since they unchange some other changes they made last year) and, just - there will be some small adjustments to be made but you'll probably be fine with them.

And, seriously, I just can't even see why any of this ever seemed like it mattered in the first place.

*shares job-landing karma* Good luck. Jobs should not make you cry. At least not very often.

Ooh, give longtimegone a hug from me, 'kay?

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

I will miss you if you leave. I've deliberately insulated myself as much as I can from dealing with the organization beyond my own projects, and that's working well for me, but you should not stay and be miserable.

[mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com]

Good luck, good luck, good luck! You deserve to be happy and appreciated in your work.

Ooh. *sends karma*

Since I am not actively looking for a job right now, I have some to spare. :)

[anemonerose.livejournal.com]

Good luck, Carrie! You get all kinds of lucky job vibes, as I'm good for at least this year myself. :-P

*hug*

[vertigo66.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I was super duper lucky and landed a great job on the first try. :)

You can have ALL my job-hunting karma, except for the part that I'm sending anerise - I love my job and I'm not applying for a new one anytime soon! :D

*squidges you*

[dramawench.livejournal.com]

*sends all leftover karma from previous search to you*
Good luck, sweetie!!!

[momma-geek.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

[darthrami.livejournal.com]

Fingers very crossed for you, hon.

[riverlight.livejournal.com]

GOOD JOB, you. I approve of the not-crying-at-work thing.
