Work, work, work
February 5, 2007So I was at the library today on my lunch to feed my internet addiction and I saw on their website that they have a job opening in their business office. Now I’ve always wanted to work at the library since I was a kid when I set up my own library, cataloging all the books in our house, which was more than a few *lol* but I was thinking more along the lines of a children’s librarian or research/reference type deal. This is all they have available for a job description:
Duties in this position are shared with another part-time clerk.The work schedule is approximately 20 hours per week during business hours on Monday, Thursday and Friday, with some flexibility.
Knowledge of spreadsheet and word processing applications, writing skills and the ability to communicate effectively with the public and staff are required.
Now my current job is blah, blah, blah BORING but it would most definitely have a very similar job description. Yes, it was originally a 3 month project job that has lasted 16 months-there is STILL more that needs to be done- and now they have me on another project because the woman who handled it retired in December.
I have this paranoia of changing jobs only to find myself in another dullsville job. I’m really great at thinking a job sounds like a good one only to find out it sucks and I’m bored, oh how I hate being bored. Granted the salary range is quite nice- starts out better than what I make now, and I’m at the “top” of the range where I work- in fact, I think I’m above the range because they wanted to hire me back- and the schedule of Monday and Thursday is what I am working now, though I’d have to find a person to watch Widget on Fridays. I have to make a decision if I’m going to apply because the deadline is Wednesday to get applications/resumes in. Plus I have this ridiculous guilt about quitting the job I have now because my supervisor has been so wonderful with all my ups and downs and changes in availability.
I am not good at making decisions…..
