This week's lesson: mediocrity gets you hired.

[intheflow]

2. Talked with my boss about it a little.

She told me the other girl got hired because she has seniority over me, even though it's only about 3 months. Also the dental thing, but the deciding factor was the seniority, mostly because there were four of use applying for the position from the branch. Then she went on to say she didn't expect this girl to be in the job more than a year! Seriously WTF - why would you hire someone - even for seniority reasons - if you were certain they'd ditch out in only a year?

But whatever. I've started applying to jobs at the local college where they have a Masters of Library Science program and you can take classes for free. So perhaps something shall come of that. Thanks for your support, love_katz. Means a lot.
