On the Hunt Again

So, I told my boss today that I'm job-hunting. I can't take working here anymore. I spent $200 in gas last month, my car's brake warning light has come on and I have no money to take it to the shop, my salary is laughable, the raise I was promised didn't come through, I really have no room for advancement here and everybody is at each other's throats again. The Karma here is so bad. It's not healthy. I've wasted too much of my life being stuck in jobs that weren't healthy and going nowhere. I wish I could just get in my car and leave right now and never come back. *sigh* Oh, well. The sooner I find something else, the sooner I never have to come back.

I'll finish tweaking my resume tonight and start sending it out. I've got a couple of boards to create for my portfolio. I'll forward the update resume to the placement office at Platt. I'm not going to screw around with this. In the meantime, I've got a presentation folder to do for my boss and I need to get their FileMaker Pro database running.

My dream job is out there, I just have to find it.
