Over the weekend, as we flipped the calendar into September, I made a decision. I’m tired of waiting on a college or university to decide that I’d be a fabulous employee. The weak response I’ve had so far either means that I’m very unqualified or their mindset is if you’ve never been an instructor in a higher-ed environment then you must be kidding us about working for us in any capacity. Funny, that I used to work for a university and didn’t have to regale anyone with stories of those damn freshmen. Rolls eyes.
We have COBRA for six more months and then something needs to change because I prefer health insurance that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Working for a university really made me appreciate HUGE health plans with lots of members and the power that brings.
Bring on the corporate environment! That was a pretty good life oh so many years ago. Could be again. And, since I already know everyone is going to be out to screw me because I’d be a) new and b) an employee then all will be A-OK. Cynical? Yes. But, really, what company doesn’t want to screw their employees so that the bottom line is enough to let the CEOs roll into work on their high horses?
Makes sense to me! Onward and upward with the, uh…er…screwing!!
