I haven't posted in ages. I've been meaning to, but things are incredibly busy at work.
I quit my job, because I got a new one that paid 13,000/year more. Then my current job counter-offered, and I agreed to stay for six months. The deal was that if things don't improve, then I will quit at that point.
That agreement was made about three and a half months ago, and things have gotten worse rather than improved. But I've made a commitment.
So two days ago, a friend and former coworker of mine called me and asked if I would please, please, please interview for a job that pays ANOTHER 5-15,000 a year more. GAH. Ethical dilemma.
At any rate, I decided I'll interview and then if I get it I'll tell them that I have to work out the two and a half months. They've been trying to find someone for four, so if they would like me to go there, they can decide if it's worth it.
In other news, I just got back from a really lovely trip to Venice. If you go, remember to go a few blocks from whatever main square you find yourself on before choosing a restaurant, as the food will be not only cheaper but WAY better. We ended up getting pizzas constantly from this place called Pizza Crash a few blocks from San Marco Plaza. Pizza, of course, means a big crust with cheese covered in things like prosciutto, artichoke hearts, spinach, mozzarella buffalo, etc.
Weirdly enough, I kept getting mistaken for a French person. As in, people who just walked up to me and started talking assumed I was French. Very weird, as I don't look French at all.
More later.
No, realy.
