Poised but Petrified. Over the last week or so, Anna Bloviations has been heavy into employing her master persuasive skills so that by November, Anna should be Chief of Staff at a certain Massachusetts governmental agency. From a doing-something-meaningful perspective, we are thrilled to soon be part of it. To boot, we will be going from a measly $31K to $75K a year salary. OK, still pathetic compared to almost everyone we know yet on the other hand, we're not likely to get laid off in six months either. But between you, me, and cyberspace, Anna Bloviations is starting to panic and it has nothing to do with the fact that we are not particularly a domain expert on the stuff we will be dealing with. No, we are panicked at the thought of revving up from 2 1/2 days a week (which technically made our measly salary $62K) to full-time, full-throttle kind of stuff. And we will be working for a boss who is brilliant but a Neanderthal when it comes to all of the things that would ease our lives in this position i.e. typing with more than just an index finger, cell phone savvy, and knowing that a Blackberry isn't just something you add to your cereal, etc. The minute I start this job I'm getting a house cleaner. And possibly a weekly massage...
