last week, i found out that i have been instrumental in two people landing new jobs. actually, all i did was forward them a couple of links that i had already been mulling on for a while. the first was a freelance writing job which i felt wasn’t really up my alley; i felt i wasn’t qualified, even if i was offered the job by the boss himself. eventually, a friend took on the job and i can’t think of any other person i’d rather do it than her.

the second is a job i passed along with more than a tinge of regret. it was a job announcement that has been recurring several times over the past year, sometimes even making it into my inbox by way of old subscriptions to science job search engines. like a tempting vixen, it was calling, luring me to submit my resume. after a brief discussion with hubby, though, i decided to defer deciding for later, and passed the opportunity instead to someone else. now she’s got the job, and i’m truly happy for her, too.

but, ouch. i’m as green as the grass in may. sometime soon, i really have to decide what i want to do with (the dregs of) my career.
