I think I'm underpaid

Today was terribly boring at work. So much so that I decided to begin looking at job sites and salary surveys and even posting my resume. I've decided that I am underpaid (the average wage for someone skilled in Framemaker is $61,000), underutilized, and in a position that isn't going anywhere very quickly. Add to it the fact that I disagree with our company's lack of aggressiveness, and I think maybe it's time I move on. Anyways, tonight I played pickup Frisbee until dark, then I went straight to our volleyball game. I was a bit hesitant to go since Vance hadn't emailed me about it or anything—thinking maybe they'd be better off without me. But it's a good thing I showed. We only had 6 until the last game. Besides, it's the tournament and we were bumped down to the level 3 tournament, so things should be a little easier. Nonetheless, we looked a little sloppy out there. Yeah, I made a couple of mistakes, including 2 or 3 bad serves, but I wasn't the only one. And all of my passes and digs were solid. So I don't feel too bad. We just barely won, 2 games to 1. And the last game was really close. Anyway, after that I went to our intramural ultimate game and we of course won that as well. 10-2. The other team was pretty upset about it, too. I don't blame them. But really, we were pretty easy on them. We were practicing a zone and stayed afterwards to perfect it. I wasn't doing too well on it myself (didn't play in the cup once tonight), but then again my primary function is to break the zone. Which I was doing pretty well. I think if we can get this zone learned, along with a couple of offensive formations, we might stand a chance of winning a few games come tournament time. Of course, Andy was telling us we might not even be in the top tournament, in which case we should win the whole thing. We'll see, I guess. Then I grabbed dinner from Dairy Queen and went home. Not much going on there, except a guy named Geoff randomly came by to check out a room. Another guy called me earlier about the room (he saw it on a sign I posted at the Wilk). And then there was a guy from roommates.com who contacted me yesterday. So that's 3 guys in 2 days. I don't understand why they hadn't been contacting us before. Well, hopefully this will get our house full and money back in my pocket.
