So, I got a call from “Spacely Sprockets” today. From a higher up who I happened to work with long ago. In fact, we started there together (he has advanced far beyond my levels in the company, however). Anyway, he wanted to know if I was interested in a job with him. I explained that my severence package — which I already signed and mailed — stated that I am not allowed to work for “Spacely Sprockets” ever again. He said that we might be able to work around that. Anyhoo, the gist is that I may have a job, albeit with the same company I just left, still a job. I will send in my resume tomorrow and have it ready for the hiring manager on Monday. I am looking forward to getting back there (wierd huh — I’m fickle as a pickle). Actually the department I’d be going to is much better than were I was at in terms of stress and burnout. But, it is worse in the respect of pay… Beggars can’t be choosers. Wish me luck, gang!
