Nicole's Notes

I guess the problem is that I'm just not challenged at work any more. I have stretched this job description pretty much as far as it's can reasonably go. Any more duties and I'd be out of time on busy days. There's upward mobility... but only into property management, which... frankly, most days I count myself lucky that I'm in at the desk and they're the ones out there dealing (in person) with the screaming loonies and the clogged toilets. So... no.

The fire we had recently and the stress that surrounded coping with it, really just drove my dissatisfaction home. I like the people, don't get me wrong. My coworkers and our tenants are wonderful (except now and again when individual members of either group get annoying or annoyed!). It's just that I'm not jumping out of bed excited to go to work. Or even interested in going to work. :P

So I'm starting to look more actively. Tonight's plan is to brush up the ole resume. There are lots of interesting-looking positions available out there. And some of 'em I might even qualify for! I think I want something more tech-related. We'll see who wants me. My ideal job would involve hanging out on Second Life all day, but there's not many who'd pay me to do that. ;)

There are a number of social scientist types who appear to be doing something along those lines, though. They're running all sorts of interesting studies on online communities like Second Life; the most interesting of which, in my not-so-humble opinion, are the ones that compare how people interact online to how they behave in "real life". Very iiiiinterestink.

I'll keep you all posted. Well, maybe. When I get around to it. :D
