Well, I’m the next-up candidate for my second stab at GAO employment (ie, if the person who got the offer on friday doesn’t accept by this upcoming friday, they’ll extend the offer to me) … And I’m becoming less certain I’m interested. There are some not-so-faint echoes of Motorola in this plan. Big agency [company], in [near] chicago, good pay, not-precisely-what-I-want-to-do, though much closer in this case. I’ve started getting used to the idea of either sticking around for the summer with a half time research assistantship and some work for outfront on the side regarding the anti-civil-union amdendment, or if outfront pays, going full time with them. I’m not sure I could find what I’d really like to be doing, but I have an opportunity or two I’m checking out on that front, though time is definitely slipping by.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, even if health care isn’t my preferred area of focus, taking this internship and doing it well could advance my chances of getting into the organization, getting into their “check out several teams” plan, and settling into natural resources and the environment… if that’s what I really want. Potential resume building, blah, blah, blah. <\/p>\n
I was kinda getting used to the idea of staying in place for at least 12 months without moving. I may have to content myself with signing my first lease renewal. Hrm. <\/p>\n
Chicago rocks anyway. If I get the offer, I think I’ll take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
