My boss has setup a meeting to divvy up my job responsibilities. I already handed off a couple to various folks. But today I made a list. It takes a sentence over two pages, covering 12 items.
12 chores make a factotum.
My boss is already 25 minutes late, and this is after a resched. Should have been more troublesome as an employee, huh?
Looking at my company job board -- one of my saved job profiles is called "cheezburgerz in paradise" because I listed some of the Florida Keys as my preferred job locations. I bet anyone working in that area isn't going anywhere until they retire or assume room temperature.
But that's about the only positive quality our job board has. It's a piece of work from Taleo, and its' quirkiness is exceeded only by its' apparent popularity with large corporations -- Southern Company and some other big outfit use it too.
Quirky in that it doesn't allow "Open as new window" -- it takes you to Saved Searches -- but when you backspace (or click Back), it takes you back to job #1. As a memory aid, though, it's pretty decent.
Sometimes it says, "That job is no longer available." when you click through.

| Taleo's quirkiness is NOT exceeded by its' power... |
Speaking of quirky deadness, I wonder how a wake for my career would fly with my soon-to-be-erstwhile team?
New meeting time -- so I have a few minutes to navigate the quirkiness once more...
Applied for 1 job on Careerbuilder.
