Job redux

How depressing is it that I keep seeing jobs that I applied for last year become available again? Ah well, they should have hired me to begin with.

Speaking of which, my former employer called to ask (perhaps beg) me to come back. And even though I am probably jeopardizing my whopping $100 wk in unemployment, I declined. It seems that the woman who was leaving, then wasn't leaving, decided to leave. And now I think the controller is gone too. So even though his departure would make for a friendlier work environment, it will also be a huge mess while they are understaffed. Good riddance.
