i didn't realise how miserable job hunting made me until i got the offers yesterday,
to use a clichè, it was like a weight off my shoulders, instantly perked up, realised how much of a grumpy prick i've been the last few weeks.
Are you going to see about an industry move, or just a different office?

I ent suited for customer support. I have no patience and no tolerance for ignorance.
I'm going for an industry shift with a two-pronged strategy. I'd like to get back into publishing, so I'm going for web content work as a halfway measure. The other prong is AV installation. Two areas that I have transferrable skills for without quite so much direct prick interaction.

I mean AV as in corporate conferencing systems etc.
Since you're usually working in boardrooms and pulling out ceiling tiles, you pretty much get left alone.

inevitably it's getting dragged into urgent meetings and being screamed at to get it set up before the client arrives.

Again, I said installation, not support.
Also, any cunt that screams at me gets short fucking shrift.
