Things from Left Field
Left Field seems to be this strange place where things sit and wait until the moment you least expect them (or never even have thought about it). Then like a panther waiting for its prey they pounce, taking you totally off guard.
I've had a few "from left field" moments over the last couple of weeks, and it just seems to be something in the air (or with me) that is bringing them my way. My mom last night even remarked that I'm in "one of those places" right now.
Dang, is it that obvious?!?!?
My latest 'Left Field' moment surfaced yesterday at work.
On thursday our HR Manager and myself spent the day interviewing candidates to replace me when I leave (next week). I had recruited these candidates from graduates of the program that I am currently taking part in and it was a little disheartening seeing the quality of candidate produced (yikes!) and there only 1 person out of 6 that really stood out.
Anyhooo... back to yesterday. So, I was sitting in Suzanne's office (she's the HR Manager) and she asked me why I wasn't applying for her position - she's relocating - instead of going back into the program. She asked why I would continue with a program when i was already in a position to do the job that I would be coming out of the program looking for. And that I could finish my program part time and possibly the company would even pay for it!!!!
OMG - it's less than week from my last day and this lands on my desk.
So, she suggested I think about it... and then talk to her boss more about it, to at least let him know I am interested in the position.
It's a fantastic position, because eventhough its frontline HR stuff it also affords the opportunity to work on some great projects. Its a wonderful supportive team, great location, growing company. YIKES!!!
I then went and chatted with Danny (one of my current bosses) - he suggested that if I am interested that I talk to Bill. But cautioned that (1) Bill doesn't work fast, so it might take a couple of months to happen, and (2) there's been recent controversy about the company appointing people into roles instead of posting the jobs, so they would need to post and I would have to apply (although I would be a strong candidate).
Well... needlesss to say... I thought my brain was buzzing earlier this week... but this just has fueled the fire. But... I still paid my tuition today... and I am still intending on following my originally planned path... 'cause I don't want to quit school only to not get the position.
mmmm... but making some mullah would be nice....
