Also, they needed someone nerdy enough to run their scheduling software, but not nerdy enough to expect an IT professional’s wage. 😂
LOL. Sounds like you were a great fit for the job and team.
I’m always surprised when I hear about/from people who were able to stick it out at a job for over 10 years. It’s a weakness of mine, that I can’t seem to stick with a job for more than 8 months. All sorts of things make it difficult to stick around for me. Depression tends to be the downfall of the job for me. I’ve been able to find a great blend of anti-depressants and minor anti-anxiety meds that work for me. Took me years to get here though. But not to make it about me, there’s room for improvements and I’ve had some over the years. Still going at it. Slow and steady I guess.
So what aspects of your job position do you like the most?
The biggest thing, is that my paycheck doesn’t rely on how many people I’ve swindled.
But also, there’s a lot of variety in my week. I could be processing payments one day, making the schedule for student workers the next, or ordering 200 stuffed animals for the faculty party, setting up a new user in the scheduler system, or moving furniture around for a conference.
And some days there just isn’t much going on and I can browse the web and play games online most of the day.
