I get through today at work and then I'm on vacation. It's so wonderful to think of. But vacation will end and then I'll be back at it, so now I have to be thinking of my resume and whether I want to apply to the new office job that's opening up.
They're calling it the Coordination Center, for today - they'll probably change the name again. They've built a little room full of phones and computers which they'll staff 24/7 with the intention that the people in there will call everyone who needs to be contacted if anything happens. (Although I'm sure there'll also stick whoever's in there with filing and such, because otherwise people will be sitting around most of the time.)
It sounds easy and dull, which probably means that I'll see far too much of the people I'm not so fond of in the office and very little of the people I actually enjoy associating with, my current coworkers. However, I don't think it'll be all the time - I've heard they're hiring around twelve people for it, and probably we'll all be working regular screener duties at least part of the time as well. It's not a different job, just a collateral duty. It would give my poor beleagered shoulders a break, give me a chance to brush up on skills I've neglected, and make my resume look better for when I eventually apply for something else.
Also, several of the people I most enjoy working with are also talking of applying.
Yeah, probably I should get that resume brushed up and turned in. Well, shove my resume into the form they want, which is one page of only pertinent experience. (ComicArtist is thinking of applying, too, but his initial reaction was "I can't shove all my experience that's pertinent into one page! I'm OLD!" And his previous paying career was television sound engineer.)
In completely other things - I need to hurry my ass up and finish "Farnham's Freehold" so that I can read "Well of Lost Plots" and talk to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eor about it! *is eager!*
