ninanevermore2022 was the year of the jobs for me. Generally, I'm pretty stable. Looking for work is stressful. Interviewing for a new job? Even more stressful. Making an excuse to interview for a job when you already have a job? Worst thing ever.
Which is why it astounds me that I've worked for 4 different employers in the last 12 months. Two, I resigned from. One resigned from me, but they were nice about it.
After 2 years of unemployment I felt pretty unlovable. Looking for work during a pandemic was genuinely nightmarish: 0/10, would not recommend. So I accepted the first job that would take me and started it at the start of 2021. The people? Very nice. The pay? Not so much. I was a 1099 employee working out of the game room out of the company owner's house. They were sad to see me go and wished me well when, after a year and a half I left for a job that would pay a bit more and have some benefits. The owner of the new company liked me. His wife, who I worked under, did not. So that was a bust. But the owner promised to give me a good recommendation, which he did. Found somethings 2 weeks later. Liked the people, but had trust issues with them. They didn't tell me I'd be working as a temp until after I accepted. I suspected I would stay a temp for longer than they indicated, so I kept looking. Found something else and started at the start of this year. My last job said I was a blessing and could come back whenever I wanted.
I don't want to.
New job? So far so good. And so it goes.
