beansideIt's Thursday, boo! I'm trying to wake up, and it's slow going. Last night, I had a migraine, and had to bow out of the Brindlewood Bay game, which made me sad, but I was hurting like hell. Fortunately, it seems like the bulk of the headache is gone. My head just feels...tender today. I'm hoping that's just the normal post migraine thing and not that it's going to spring back to life while I'm at work. Oh well, I'll take my meds and hope.
Between the migraine and some low motivation, the workday was especially dull and annoying. I did what needed to be done, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I said to my coworker J that it's like the job has given me a speedrun through the stages of grief. At this point, I'm somewhere between depression and acceptance, except instead of depression, I've got anger. But I really, really thought I'd finish my career at IKEA. I like the company's values on human rights and the environment. But the call center has just gone downhill. They used to actually promote from within, but over the last couple of years that has gone out the window. Out of the last three crops of management, they've hired one person from the center, and that was for a temp job.
I got an email from Carefirst Blue Cross asking me what days I was available for interviews and my salary requirements. We'll see what their answer is. I'm to the point that I'm not willing to accept below $50,000. Other than that, all my applications are still under "received." Hopefully, they'll start reviewing them soon.
Carefirst would be on the phones, which isn't ideal, but then again, IKEA is going to be putting us back on the phones, so I might as well be making more money.
Tomorrow, I'm going to do some shopping, maybe go up to the Amish Market and get some nice steak. I've been in the mood for something good. Okay, I suppose I need to get myself together for work. Everyone have a perfectly lovely Thursday!
