Escape from the Day Job of Firetop Mountain: Revisited

So, in order to move up to a senior admin position at the University of Cambridge, I must have at least two years' experience in a senior admin role.

But I can't move sideways to similar level/paying job at the University because I am now well over-qualified for the position I'm in anyway.

I contacted the University's temping service today to inquire about doing some long-term temp work, and was told I should check the permanent vacancies page instead.

Outside of the University, all that seems to be available is office junior positions, where I'd be making coffee and photocopying for about sixty million people, something I am also over-qualified to do.

Nobody so far has offered to pay me £18k a year to sit at home minding my own business and not inflicting myself on co-workers.

Man. Forget work. Work doesn't get me. Let's all just drink pina coladas until we can't remember our names!
