Not Lazy

Okaaay� so yes, I sorta died off there towards the end of the summer and havent really given any updates on the many things that have happened in the past 3 weeks or so. I�ll just go ahead and say that I am in fact back at UNK for my last year of school and have jumped in with both feet to my many projects and responsibilities here. I�ll hopefully remember get back to talking about school later in this post. Right now I�m gonna progress chronologically from where I left off with the last post.

All summer I was a little uncertain what I would be doing when I came back to school for a job. For the past 2 years I was a helldesk� er um, �help�desk tech. Because of several factors I am not working for the helpdesk anymore, I had been working on gettting a job as work study assistant to the campus web-master. Same department on campus but different supervisor.

So about 3 weeks ago I end up talking to a guy that has a management position in the IT department and he tells me that there is a brand new full time position that involves watching the Help desk for the night shift and also taking care of some multimedia projects. This job was going to pay $11-12 per hour and keep me really busy. I was a little wary about having to drop at least one class and be so incredibly busy during school. But the money was sounding very ver nice to me. I accepted the position pretty quickly after he offered it to me and was of course very excited.

So about two days later I get ahold of him to clear up some details on when and how to get started with this job. He tells me that there has been yet more reorganization within the department and the position that he offered to me has now been scrapped and replaced with a training position for teaching faculty and staff basic computer skills.

On the up side, he did offer me the original work study position for $8.00/hour and 19 hours per week. So I still got a very nice job and I will still be able to graduate on schedule. I would have been much happier about getting this great position if it weren�t for the fact that the much better position was dangled in front of me and then yanked away.

Alright, I have to get back to work. (To be continued�)
