Nothing else quite like the job search roller coaster. I spent the whole day in gleeful anticipation of an HR call that turned out to be a polite explanation of why I'm not suited for the position, or any position, at their company.

So. Fcuk. Back to careerbuilder.com and the rewriting of my resume every week.

I was seriously wondering if I should even be trying to get out of my current job earlier this week. I'm making enough money to survive, though not really to thrive, but hey, with a recession looming that's probably enough. We get our bennies, a pretty generous vacation calendar, and I can slip in late in the morning and work a little late in the evening without being hassled. Enough projects wither on the vine that I've learned what to avoid even beginning to work on. The boss I loathed left last year and hasn't been replaced, so I report directly to one of the okay people in the building. Until I scream racial epithets at people in the halls I'm not likely to be fired. I suppose this is what other people really want from employment.

Meh.

In mood-related news, I'm so heavily into overhauling Contract Work that I don't know if I'm making good decisions or bad with the rules rewrite. Is it better to give the hitters their money up front, or does that encourage overly conservative play? Is it better to make them draw from a bank as a reward for each action, or does that allow for a single hitter to dominate? How about sharing resources? Can I split the difference?

I need to playtest each of these options to see what they mean, and that means effectively playtesting three different games, what with the rules being so varied.

Again with the meh.

To close this rambling and self indulgent post, who among my singerly friend types is interested in joining a choir based in Ewing? Rehearsals on Monday nights. Conducted by Chris Loeffler. Yes.

I'll post about that again when the lines are clear.
