When the FSM closes a door...
So I didn't get either of the two jobs I interviewed for, but I did get a promotion at work to 'interim co-head of bibliographic management services.' I, along with a coworker, will be managing technical services while we run a search for the third time for a permanent person. So I will have a busy time the next six to twelve months. It will be interesting for sure--I have never supervised before and am looking forward to trying out being in management. Hopefully I won't turn into a Dilbert cartoon. But it will be good for me to have some new challenges.
Oh, and the reason it is a co-head position is because I have to keep doing my regular job on top of the new one. I get a bonus, though. I found out today that it's the equivalent of two weeks' pay. It's good that I'm not doing it for the money.
