Is the nonprofit you work for affiliated with a particular University on the south side? I can sympathize with having to deal with VBA. I'm working in a lab that deals with lots of questionnaire data and uses Access as the main tool for gathering said data because that's the way things have been done in the past, despite the fact that nobody in the lab really knows how it works. I can also sympathize with having your network drives go down and render everything inoperable. Everything we use in the lab is stored on an offsite network drive, probably because of HIPAA compliance, and said network drive has dropped out twice in the past couple weeks. Once for almost an entire day, and once for an hour or two. Best of luck with the job search.

It is not. I've heard working there is hit or miss depending on who your boss is. I don't want to hate too much on Access. It's really an amazing program. You should see the processes some of my coworkers managed to create despite not knowing an iota of SQL. Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm being very methodical because I really want to make the move count. I'm okay with waiting for the right opportunity because I really enjoy my job outside of the horrible IT situation: my boss is awesome, the people I work with are awesome, there is a lot of variety in the role, and I get to make a lot of decisions. Regardless, the IT situation is limiting my growth, so I'm on the lookout for the next thing.
