I've been very unhappy at my job since October 30th. Before that I was just sorta unhappy some days but mostly OK. Then October 30th I took a pay cut and another person in my office received her second promotion in a year. Now, you might think I'm a bad employee if this sort of thing happens and maybe I'm in denial, but I think it has more to do with politics. Everyone else in the company can see how much work she doesn't do except the person responsible for her promotions. And the pay cut was company-wide, made in an effort to avoid having to lay anyone off. This company is more politically driven then any other I've worked for.
Either way, I've grown to resent most of my superiors, my direct boss being the only thing that made me come back to work on November 2nd. So, I've been looking for another job and as many people know, good jobs are few and far between! In my job hunt, I came across a posting for an Office Administrator (I currently work in the Publishing and Advertising Operations department of a publishing company) at New England Felting Supply. I tend to do a lot of research on any company I'm considering applying at. In my search for information on this particular company, I have become giddy with creative desire! The owner, Chris White, started Magpie Designs out of her home and later opened the retail store. I can't stop reading about her work and looking through the galleries.
The company sells loose wool and teaches felting classes. I've learned a lot of what I thought felting was isn't really felting at all and I've seen some amazing things I never would have thought possible. Even if I don't get a job with them, I'm taking some classes for sure! The creations are so soft and flowing... magical!
