Interesting Options...

Lisa has offered to let me stay on the project until June, working either 20 or 32 hours a week (my choice) doing data entry, making calls, etc.

The up side would be:
1) no coworkers to create drama
2) flexible hours
3) low workload
4) I'm a contract worker, therefore I keep my benefits
5) 32 hours a week *should* be enough to meet my budgetary needs, although it wouldn't allow me to save up any more
6) 32 hours a week would give me a couple more hours a day to study for my A+
7) 20 hours a week would allow me to take an evening part-time job to fulfill my monetary needs as well as save up some more
8) no down time while looking for a job
9) I already know this job for the most part, so no new training

The down sides:
1) it would just be me and Lisa, nobody else, so if she got back into the habit of venting wrath on people... I'd be her only target
2) theoretically 32 hours should be enough $$$... but there's no guarantee
3) it's not a technical job, and thus doesn't further my career goals, except in allowing me to study for my A+

So... I hope to give her an answer Friday, but if not she said I can take until Monday to mull things over. I'm now wishing that I'd spent more time working closely with her, just to see if I'm likely to become a target for her like everyone else has.



In other news, according to Pat I've "gotten his plotting blood up" with all my talk of plots I'm working on, and he's accelerated his timetables... all units be ready for an assault in 1 week, repeat 1 week. Plan Alpha.
