It's Friday! We've almost made it through the week. Okay, technically, my week goest until Saturday this week, but we're almost there.
So, the little nibble I had on my resume turned into a full-on bite. I had a 15min phone interview with the recruiter yesterday, and I have an hour long interview via zoom today. I called out of work in the hopes that this will turn into something. It would be a Monday-Friday, 9-5 job in a medical call center. Which I have certainly done before, and could easily do again. It would be mostly remote, with one day a week in the office.
I still feel that I could be a good 911 operator, but it's becoming obvious that I'm not going to be allowed to become one with this agency. There's a very clique-ish aspect of it that I really am not there for. They seem to want you to eat, breathe and sleep dispatch, and that's not me. I have an actual life, and things I want to do outside of work. In the end, it's just not a good fit. So, it's time to move on.
I'm still getting "feedback," ie, chastised for almost every call I take, because inevitably, there's something I did wrong. I'm tired of it. Even when I know that I did well on the call, it's not fun to constantly be told that you suck. I don't need work to be fun all the time, but I do request that it not be actively unpleasant, and it's not great. It was different pre performance meeting, when I felt like I was improving, but since that is apparently not the case, I feel like it's time to go.
I've had this annoying migraine for the last two days. I load up on ibuprofen and tylenol in the morning, push my way through work, and then I get home and it comes roaring back. I had to bow out of another game last night, and I am seriously peeved at my body for this. I'm hoping that since today is not going to be rainy/snowy, my head will chill the fuck out.
We have a game this evening, and I'm hoping to be in top form for it. Of course, our next game after that is on Sunday, when it's supposed to rain all day, but hopefully, my brain will stop trying to stab me.
Okay, going to start applying to more jobs now. Everyone have a lovely Friday!
