Work ...

My contract is not being renewed, and so I'll be out on the street in a couple weeks. I'm preparing a list of my duties -- currently I'm up to 27 things, along with a couple paragraphs explaining why things would have gone hideously wrong if there hadn't been one person overseeing various requests.

It occurs to me that the proper time for this shouldn't have been to help the people letting me go. I should have created this list back when they were last looking at my salary.

Live and learn. I'm usually terrible at asserting my rights. I feel somewhat proud, but also like a terrible chump.

Ah bummer dude *hugs* Make that list of duties into a CV and get yourself out into the job market (we hates it, precious), who knows what may be waiting round the corner. (Having only had my contract renewed till January, I'm up to speed with all the necessary comfortable-rut-abandoning rhetoric).

Thanks, Sorne. Sorry that your own job isn't that secure either.

The best of my 29 duties are on my resume -- along with the more complex things I've performed elsewhere. I fear working here has actually been somewhat detrimental career-wise.

But as I mentioned in the blog entry I posted scant minutes ago, leaving here isn't the worse thing in the world.
