Spent a couple of hours working for the physical therapist today. Earlier this week, she moved out of her dining room and into a warehouse-space-turned-treatment-facility. Half the stuff we need is still at her house, so I get to run hither to do filing and yon to enter girth measurements in the computer and assemble a chronology of before/after wound photos for a patient's doctor.
When I got home, there was a message from UTPA. Research Administration wants to talk to me about the job I applied for--Project Effort Reporting Specialist, keeping track of how the University's grant recipients and sponsored project researchers account for their time while they're on someone else's dime.
It was my second choice. Since this is the only real attention my skills have received in the flurry of applications, I suppose I should feel more excited, flattered, grateful. I'd be more excited if I knew what the job paid. Guess I'll have a chat and find out if they can afford me. ;)

Hey, like I said to Janet - it's a job that will make your resume a little more interesting. So why not??
Good luck!!
It can't hurt to have University work experience when one is married to a professor. Gives the "trailing spouse" some additional career options.
Oh, I have such a soft spot for "trailing spouses" (such horrid vocabulary - we've officially switched to calling them "accompanying spouses"). I'm married to a "trailing spouse." Let me tell you how much better life is made by the presence of an ACCOMPANYING spouse!! I sing the praises of accompanying spouses everywhere!!
I hadn't heard the term until Mike used it to describe me to an HR gathering he attended (in hopes of drumming up some interest in my skillz).
I like "accompanying spouse" better. It doesn't call up the image of a toilet paper tail stuck to someone's shoe.
