    I get to escape the current batch of idiots!!!!

    Sorry, had to gloat a bit.

    OK, back down to earth. I'm trading this batch for a different batch, in a different geographical area. But maybe, just maybe, during the "honeymoon" phase, I won't know they're idiots. Maybe?

    Moving sounds wonderful! Will there be a glass ceiling? Can the smirking, do-nothing/credit-taking boss sit under it this time and get a concussion trying to get through it? I'd drink to that!

    When I read this thread, I'm glad I still don't have a job except I'm busier than ever and really haven't had the time to be biking full time.

    Life is pretty good without the aggravation of work.

    Trade you? But I'm afraid if I really vented here I would be I love my job

    But seriously, I don't expect privacy online nor should anyone. Most of you could just show up at my door "Trek420, I presume?" So especially while looking for a new job I'm just not criticizing. I love it here.

    There's some funny stuff I could post but even that I'll probably leave for the cartoons I'll do when I leave. I only work for the comic inspirations our managers provide, that and the free post-its and pens.

    I'm sure I'll remember those days soon! For right now, I'm excited to be starting work (at home) again tomorrow, since I can't drive for a few weeks and I'm bored out of my mind at the moment. I'm starting to wish I'd moved into a more walk-friendly neighborhood.

    LOL, I really enjoyed ny biker's non-specific scream to kick off this thread! Really echoed my sentiments about not being able to find work

    Same here! Or I should say, I wish I had a job in my field (acute care nurse practitioner)--I am working part time at the Y and am in the process of (hopefully) picking up hours doing flu clinics this fall until I find something permanent. I just got an email today from a place where I interviewed twice, for a job that really sounded good, saying I was not selected for the position. That hospital has an opening in another department, so I applied for that today and we'll see what happens there. I also had preliminary phone interviews with three places last week and am waiting for them to get back to me with the next step. I'm tired of waiting! And of course, I'm still looking for other jobs to apply for, in lots of different states (Massachusetts is NOT a good place to be a new grad NP right now, at least for acute care specialties, so I will almost certainly have to move for a job unless something completely unexpected happens here). So far the ones that are in the pipeline are in upstate NY and the upper Midwest. I am SO stressed out with not knowing whether I will be able to find something soon or where I will end up...I think this calls for a long and/or hard run this afternoon!
