I got hired in June; is it rude to look at greener pastures?

[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2475817, member: 63"] Well, when I was interviewing for this position, I was coming off of working at a grocery store 30 hours a week for 8 bucks an hour. Now I'm getting $11.37 an hour for 20 hours a week. But I get benefits, because Emory University is a great employer. And I don't have to wear a crappy uniform or stand for my entire shift, so I ain't complaining. But in the interview, when they asked if full time would be alright, I remember saying that I do writing work on the side, so it wouldn't be a problem. And it isn't, really. I can pay the bills and have some fun between the library and E.N. Publishing (and job restructuring in the university is going to get me a 75 cent raise in a month). And I think that if I got another job, I'd probably not have time to do as much writing as I like. It's definitely true that, right now at least, the writing is not as reliable as a job, but I'm working on it. I know that if I told my boss I'm looking she'd be a little sternly disapproving, because they've been training me over the summer so that I'll be ready for when the fall semester starts. It's a medical school library, so I've been having to familiarize myself with terminology, research sites, key texts, and so on. It's actually a pretty darn good job, and I know if I stay on for a year I'll easily be able to transfer somewhere else in the system with high recommendations and no bad blood. Plus, I've got some writing aspirations I want to get out of my system first, and I'm okay being a little poor in the meanwhile. Hm. I think I will ask my boss, not about this actual job, but about what's a good duration. It's not urgent that I get a full-time job, but it will be nice to know what the actual process would be, theoretically of course. Hrm. Oh, and Biggus Geekus, I now realize the PM wasn't erroneous. But I don't do layout. I do editing, and we know how much D20 publishers value good editing. [/QUOTE]
