learning new things, personal and otherwise

earlymorningechoes: A stack of books. (books)
Two weeks ago, I had a video visit with a rheumatologist, because my physical medicine doctor was trying to get to the bottom of my chronic pain and a test result had come back as positive that can come back as positive in autoimmune disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (it can also come back positive for no reason, but mine is very high, apparently, so they wanted to check).

The rheumatologist is like "so I doubt you have an autoimmune condition, seeing as your primary symptom is joint pain. However, can you do these stretches/hand movements for me," I do them, and she smiles.

"You're double-jointed. You're hypermobile."

Cue me shrieking.

I don't like my job. I used to, when it was primarily search-focused, but it is no longer search-focused and instead I do a lot of training (ugh) and a lot of sitting around while my boss says "find a problem! Fix it!" and trying to learn SQL piecemeal.

But I've been poking around job listings in my area, and I've found something that sounds way, way more up my alley. It would be editing, and metadata work, and search, and I just.

I'm not sure I'm ready to apply, for a variety of reasons - I haven't updated my resume in years (I did find it though, through email because the original is on a dead laptop), I don't know how to make my LinkedIn profile useful, etc. I'm also still the single point of failure for searching stuff at work, because no one really picked up what I put down in the course I made, but I'm trying not to let that be the main wrench in things.

Change is hard. But I do want a new job, so we'll see what happens.

So at work I'm the one who knows the most about the program we use for document searching by a very, very long shot. So last year my boss and his boss decided that it would be good if I created a training course on it, so people can stop asking me questions they should absolutely know the answers to themselves.
