another job at McGraw-Hill

[redbird]

I've been offered what the person offering it described as a "very boring" job in the social studies department. Basically, it involves tracking down lots of stuff that the company published recently, and getting details like page numbers, for a reprint edition where they've been told that specific citations are necessary.

The carrot, in addition to continuing to be employed in a reasonably convenient location (I dislike job hunting and am not very good at it), is that the woman who runs the social studies department is going to have a project she'll need permanent employees for, in a few months, and if I take this I'm likely to be hired on permanently (for whatever "permanently" means nowadays--but with paid holidays and vacation and such).

I have to give her an answer tomorrow, because if I decline, she'll need to find someone else. I have consulted my sweeties, who confirm my hunch that I should accept, so I'm going to.

Boring is in the eye of the beholder. Attention to detail is what it sounds like, and that can be interesting it its own, if quiet, way. Plus it could lead to other things.

Good luck!
