New Directions, Part Three

I tweeted [that seems #weird - I'm still not used to the @concept] about my top career prospects the other day.  All are fine choices for an ENFJ fellow like myself:
  • Advertising Account Manager
  • Photographer
  • Urban & Regional Planner
  • Public Relations Director
  • Graphic Designer
  • Interior Designer
Interestingly, Social Worker was in the larger list, but it's not something I will/should pursue.  While I feel that I have the requisite levels of empathy and patience, I don't think that dispensing Bender-esque advice would be appropriate.  Regardless, that leaves some fine choices...

It's Coming

I've pretty much reached the end of the road with the way things are.  Something is going to change, and soon.  Today I heard my co-workers joking about BAs who don't know the business.  "About as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike!", said one.  "As useful as a chocolate fireguard!", quoth another.  "I resemble that remark!", thought I. 

Oy.

We've Gone To Plaid

So much has been happening in the last week, I haven't had a chance to really put it down on pa... um... type it out.  Let's recap, shall we?

New Directions - Things are going pretty well.  I converted my resume from chronological to skills-based, wrote a proper cover letter for the first time in years, and submitted said resume and letter to a really nice company who might read this [Hello!  ;-)].

New Directions

I've been in IT for quite a while.  It wears on me like sand on beach glass; I'm more likely to attract necklace-making hippies, but I'm also ground down, dull around the edges and lacking lustre.  For a long time now, the best part of my day has been the bike ride at either end of it.  This is a bad thing.  Don't get me wrong, I don't expect that I'll ever jump out of bed, yelling "F*** YEAH!  Time for work!", but it would be great if I felt some [any] desire to go into the office.  Being a contractor is good because the longest my current contract will go for is to some time in July - I can move on to something else after that.  But what?
