Objective: To find a job that doesn't drive me absolutely loopy after 1 year, to make money while actually feeling useful to the company, to neither work 24 days in a row drinking gallons of coffee til 2am or spend hours in my office praying for a client project to work on.
The enchantment with my job has dissolved and the enchantment with the Midwest ended before it began.
The resume has been tweaked, the recruitor has been called - please direct me to an escape hatch.
