Replying to a few other things at once:
Yes, I got my massage (ow. Shoulder was kinda locked up there from stress. Ow.) and feel much better
(I am also drinking a Guinness at the moment, by way of a recovery drink
)
Support staff = administrative assistant positions, student advisor, that sort of thing
Workingbike, what kind of thing are you looking for? And may one inquire what happened? (I bet mine is more dramatic!)
Guinness? And to think I thought you were a sensible girl.
Then again maybe I should try one, see if helps my shoulder.
Yes, I dare say your situation was more dramatic. I work at a retail refurbished computer place, the boss has been getting fed up with the business lately, although it is still profitable. Somebody came along and offered a sum for the industrial unit we are in that he felt he was unable to turn down, so he is going off to do other things. The retail operation is going on, being run by his "partner" from a smaller rental unit, he doesn't think he can justify employing someone else to run it so, there you go.
I have done many things, I was, 15 years ago, a Civil Engineering technician in the UK, though I have no oil and gas experience and my AutoCAD is out of date so I doubt I can get back into that. I can't give you a job description, but I would like something where I can do some problem solving, anything that doesn't involve mind numbing drudgery. Money doesn't have to be fabulous, my needs are small but it has to be better than minimum wage stuff. If it involves some manual labor, thats OK too, though I couldn't handle full on warehouse work. I have some irons in the fire, but nothing is making me excited yet.
