This week is one I have been targeting as decision week in regards to my finding a job.

I’m in serious discussion on one position now and expected to hear something on it by today. Nothing has been heard, so now I must explore Plan B.

Plan B is a short, six-week contract at GSK doing LDAP work. I can’t fit a career into six weeks, but it helps pay the bills until that regular job materializes. I did LDAP work at Glaxo two years ago so the contract would be easy for me. My thought is that the income will give me breathing room to explore more long-term opportunities, including some within Glaxo itself.

Only problem is that I don’t want it to screw up the “serious discussion” job should I not be able to take it for another six weeks. I’d like to hold on for a few more days to hear about it. After being between jobs for a month as of tomorrow, however, I don’t have much of the luxury known as time.
