As I've mentioned over the last few weeks, I'm very ready for something new in the Job part of my life. The last 2 days have been interesting in that I've been contacted by 4 different recruiting companies. This would normally be great - but tonight I realized that they were all for the same job. And to make it even worse .... it's a Sprint/Nextel contract job.
Getting out of my current spot and actually getting to do some in class facilitation would be really great - I'm just not sure that a temporary job with the metro area's biggest pink-slip factory is the way to go. When T crunched the numbers it looks like it would be a good thing, but I'm not sure I want to be looking for a job again in 8 months.
The big cherry on top of this week was finding out that the manager I was indirectly working with to get a different spot with my current employer resigned. Maybe it's more of a warning signal.

T pointed out that my "Swipe or Dial" title was confusing. I was tired when I typed this up - so I thought it was funny. The intent was to contrast "swiping" a credit card with "dialing" a phone.
Ironically, they are testing phones that can be used like credit cards at fancy vending machines.
The manager you were working with -- is she going to a new company? Perhaps she knows of openings there.
*swipe or dial*
Have you heard those radio comercials that goes like this:
(refering to people with in a certain job type)
...they even have their own brand of what they call humor...
dust ... nope, she's going to "spend more time with her family" so if she is going somewhere, she's not talking about it.
Darn about the manager - and clever thought from Dust even if it didn't fly. A car change and a job change...that's a lot of stress. Good laugh with the pink slip factory. Oddly enough both my Dad and brother have been there for ages. Both under many potential pink slip perilous moments, but managed to survive. Dad had to change departments a few times...he also used to be a contractor there. Made more money as a contractor but went in hole hog for the retirement/benies.
pink-slip factory! You have a way with the words... I've never been headhunted!
I am in a bathroom humor mode, so immediately I thought, "wipe butt with tp and use Dial brand soap."
