Those of you who have been following along know that I did not get a job that I had been hoping to get. The job was in Chicago and would have been a more technically oriented position. It would have been an answer to two of the current issues I am dealing with.
- I am tired of Raleigh.
- I'm not particularly fond of my job.
Now as far as Raleigh goes, it's actually a good place to live. It's just a bad place to live if you'd someday maybe like to get married. I thought it was me, but then I realized that I have a lot of single friends. A lot of single friends who are not currently dating anyone. And for the most part, haven't really dated anyone in a while. So, part of me wants to try somewhere else. There's really no rush, as I don't really plan on having kids, but on the other hand Orion woke me up last night by licking my ear, exacerbating my fear of dying alone and being eaten by my cats.
As far as my job goes, I am not getting the kind of work I would like at my current employer. If you'll recall, it took me eight months to find that job, and I've interviewed with most of the major players in the area. So, I'm kind of stuck there. My supervisor and I are working on getting me more of the type of work I want, but it's a slow, frustrating process.
I'm actually considering going back to school for Pharmacy. Why Pharmacy? Well, it's heavy on the math and science (my strengths) and it's a field that is in demand. I'm still in the discovery stage, but I will be taking one of the three prerequisites I still need this spring at the community college. Both my psychiatrist and Peg think this is a good field for me. So, still exploring.
I guess the point here is that maybe I want to move, but maybe I want to change careers instead. So, probably at this point staying put is the wisest course of action.
