I have been feeling a little lost lately. My job is fine, but it's just not very challenging. So my chronic restlessness has been in high mode as of late. I've been passively looking for jobs, submitting a decent number of resumes for higher ranking positions. Mostly my applications are ignored, I've had a few interviews, one where the organization acted incredibly positive and interested in hiring me until it stretched into a 3 month process where at the end I was just not the right candidate. Fine, I can deal with rejection, but at least do it professionally. The latest one came today. Apparently the position I was interviewed for was filled internally, and a memo was sent out making the official announcement. Too bad they haven't bothered to tell me the position was filled, instead I heard from one of my references who's wife works for the same organization. Again, professionalism? Where?

So my apparent inability to be a desirable candidate in the job market has me thinking about school. I've always wanted to obtain a Masters degree internationally, and hoped this was a realistic probability. Unfortunately, time keeps passing, and I get older. Brad's tied to Manitoba for two more years, and I`d really like to work internationally when he`s done school. So the probability of pursuing a part-time post-graduate program is becoming more and more realistic. I need something to make me think again... something.
