Peep

I got a call from a recruiter this week. May get an interview next week. Six month position; would have paid $38/hour but since I've "been out of the field for a few years" he thinks I should shoot for $30. Right. 'Cuz going to grad school made me completely forget how to do a stupid pareto chart.

But $30 is actually more than I made when I quit my job in Worcester. And this would be with Siemens Medical. So, I would gladly swallow my pride to A) have a job B) gain medical industry experience C) become an 'insider' at Siemens. Of course, I don't even know if I'll get an interview, so for now I am assuming another strike-out.

Recruiter also said I should add the stages to my work experience. Showing I climbed from Eng to Super is valuable, rather than them thinking I was supervisor the whole time.

Though the week was beyond quiet on the job front, it was Valentine's Day on Tuesday. Since I normally go to great lengths for things like this to be met with ambivalence from Nauber, I decided to save myself the disappointment and do absolutely nothing this year. So, of course, he took me out to dinner and bought me gifts.

So, I rushed to Target Wednesday for the clearance candy, and bags/bows. Made him a chocolate pudding pie with a little cherry syrup mixed into the cool whip and a big chocolate heart on top.

Meh

Nothing new.

Shun. Shunnnnnnnnnnnn

Never heard back from HR. Even sent an email saying please send a status update. There is a tiny piece hoping that means the paperwork just hasn't gone through, yet, so there is no response available. But I know it's another rejection by avoidance.
