I Have a Job Again
May. 12, 2005 by Jason
I’ve been job-hunting for two months now, and finally the search is over. I’m playing safe as far as what I’ll say about it. But I will give you a few details:
- The job title/responsibility level is at or above the level I was at before.
- The salary is fair.
- The vacation policy is liberal.
- The dress code is very liberal.
Enough details, I think. And don’t worry - even though I’ll be busy, I will not neglect The Churning.

I love my work dress code. I wake up. I might get dressed. I might shower before noon. I might just sit at the pc and network in my housecoat. Barefoot. Yep, life is great.

Congrats?
I dunno, man. Working for a living absolutely sucks.

Sounds like you’ve got it made, Sherry. Dress code, or lack therof, is a big priority for me.
Thanks, Jackie. I think?

Two months is a long time to wait. Congrats on finding a job.

Thanks, Jamie. It’s been a long two months.
May 13th, 2005
Congrats on the new job.
Good luck with it!

Way to go! I’m sure you’ll use it as source material for even more great stories.

Great. I get good luck wishes from a zombie on Friday the 13th. Thank you, ZF. I love your site. I am a huge zombie movie fan.
Perhaps, Carmi. I want to play it pretty safe, though. I’ve heard horror stories about people getting fired for talking about work on their blog. Damn, what is with me today? “Horror stories” on Friday the 13th!

Speaking of “horror stories”, our old friends Teri and April are knee deep in Spring Reset, so let’s not tell them how awesome your new jobby job is.
congrats, by the way.

Thanks, Mike. I’m sure I’ll be busy too. I get the feeling I may have to work a lot of hours. C’est la vie.
May 13th, 2005
congratulations!
May 13th, 2005
Thanks, Sarah. I’m soooo relieved.
May 14th, 2005
From what I’m reading, sounds like you’re happy. So sincere congrats. Hope you love (or at least like) whatever it is you’re doing.
May 14th, 2005
Yeah, Jackie. It’ll be good for me. Thanks!

You’ve just been hired as a pimp!?
My criteria for a job above all else
1. Must somewhat enjoy what I am doing.
2. Feel productive
3. Like the people with whom I work
4. Work must feel meaningful
5. Being able to dress however I want would be nice.
Strangely enough, income isn’t in the top 5. Although, I won’t argue down a six figure job. I could potentially edit my criteria were that to ever be offered.
Lastly, congrats buddy. Hopefully work won’t cut into your blogging time. ; )

I like your list, Desult. My criteria also includes “possibility for promotion.” I always want to feel like I’m making progress toward a move ahead.
And yes, I am a pimp.

I knew it!
And promotion is a good thing, add that to my list too.
