You know what's great about writing job applications?

I think I'm going crazy....

My teenage daughter invited a friend over for a sleepover. I'm good with that. Then my daughter's boyfriend called and asked if he could come over for awhile. I said fine. Then he asked if he could bring a friend. I said fine.

And my stepsons are here. So I have three 14 year olds, two 13 year olds and a 12 year old running amuck in my house.

This should be fun. Yeah... fun.


























Think I'm going to go run away now.

I found out today that the CEO of our company has decided to cut some overhead, which resulted in my operations manager being laid off. So I will assume a number of other responsibilities, in addition to the ones I already have (basically doing two jobs for the price of one -- at least until the general manager and the CEO agree what to do about my compensation).

My former ops manager is a friend, so I'm unhappy on his account. Otherwise, not sure how to feel about this. Yes, it's a promotion of sorts. But the marginal time and recreational quality of life I enjoyed before today will be further compromised, as this job is a demanding bitch that requires regular M-F business hours plus boarding vessels at all hours and days of the week, depending on the ship schedules, and being on-call 24/7 all year except when I'm on vacation. Somehow, I doubt the increase in compensation will seem worth it in the end. But one does what one has to do.

Sadly indicative of the employer's market we live.

Exactly. I don't have any leverage, and I need the job. They know this.

Made it to school despite my not really wanting to be here.
