Since last summer, I’ve been dividing my time between my personal business providing at-home tech support to a clientele that is primarily senior citizens and a part-time job doing much the same thing for a biotech company. It’s a little schizophrenic going back and forth between an office environment and the homes of my clients, but at least the basic tasks are largely the same. The biggest difference is the level of appreciation I get from my clients and my co-workers. Not that my co-workers don’t appreciate the things I do for them, but the response I get from my clients is more like this, without quite so much Jello salad.

I left my last “real” corporate IT job almost five years ago, and got laid off from the “pretend” corporate IT job almost a year and a half ago, so I think it’s pretty safe to say that I am not going back to that world again. I read this article at The Daily WTF not too long ago and was immediately reminded exactly WHY I do not want to go back.

Nothing new to report on the job-searching front. I actually haven’t done much of anything, to be honest, because there aren’t too many employers hiring in January and February for May and June. Our first group of departing cow-orkers will be leaving on Friday in search of new cows to ork. I made a farewell luncheon for everyone yesterday with “good luck” themed dishes: a black-eyed pea and pork salad, braised collard greens, a big casserole with ham and chicken and vegetables, and a berry trifle. About half of the people who work here will be leaving, so it’s going to get vewwwwwwwwwwy quiet.
Meanwhile, via Kathryn, I heard that “I Can Has Cheezburger” is hiring. I can speak LOLCat already, so I think that works in my favor.
