I've Got the Job Search Blues

Work is slow today. Actually, for the last hour and a half, it's been virtually non-existent. This is why I want to get out of the advertising proofreading biz. Even when my co-workers are awesome (unlike at my previous job), there just isn't enough work to keep me busy. It's days like this when I really miss my old job proofreading apartment newsletters. I never had serious down time there. I got to do a million different things and I learned new stuff every day. Now, nobody wants to hire anyone who isn't already trained on everything. Nobody wants to let me have a chance at anything that might challenge me or allow me to develop new skills. Everyone wants me to make a lateral move and the problem is that unless I move up, I'm going to end up taking a pay cut and bored out of my mind.
