I've caught the today-is-dragging-itis bug. Far out I'm soooo done for the day. Bleurgh. I have to do a stupid employee goals thing too. urrrghghvbggvbfgj

Also really sleepy as I was up late helping a mate with their job application. It was actually my dream job, but I'm not in a position to have such a big change right now... and I think this person is a better candidate anyway. Certainly makes me think of where I could be in the future though

Oh man, employee goals crap is the worst. I used to take them seriously, but after a decade at my current employer they've proven that they're not worth a damn. NOBODY here takes them seriously any more, even my manager acknowledges it's all worthless and any goals or aspirations or training plans or targets will be ignored by the powers that be anyway. It's just a box ticking exercise here.

Also, what a great friend you are to have that kind of attitude and put that effort in helping someone get YOUR dream job! I just hope you don't sell yourself short, make sure you shoot for something similar when the timing IS right!

Now I believe it's time to will this clock into turning faster so that I can go home...

Lol, turns out even my supervisor has no idea there were these employee goal things so it really is a total box ticking exercise...

Aw thanks, that's really nice of you re: job. It's just been bad timing that this job was advertised when it was. I absolutely can't sacrifice my last shot at finishing this degree (would need to start redoing subjects otherwise) and I know I simply can't handle the chaos of transitioning jobs moving forward. I like that my existing jobs are somewhat braindead which leaves me more space to work with uni, life, etc. Whereas I'd be burning the candle at both ends wanting to put in 110% at the job while also finishing uni. I also needed some down time professionally after my last job.

I'll definitely be putting in for jobs like that once I wrap up uni mid next year!
