Today, I found out that I did not get the Project Director position for one of the projects in my office. The fact that I didn’t get the job is not the major disappointment. The job is, at best, a hornet’s nest, but it would have included project management, which I very much miss. My major disappointment is because I am pretty sure that our Associate Director was going to make the announcement next week while I am on vacation and not tell me first. Even more disappointing is the fact that this pretty much confirmed my suspicion that my Associate Director has little to no faith in my abilities, meaning that I need to begin looking for another position. Disappointing. Just disappointing. At least the Director took it upon herself to tell me about it so that I would know and not read about it while on vacation. To console myself a bit, I started my vacation early and headed to both Old Navy and Gap for a little shopping therapy. For once, I spent money on only myself. Then, I went to Hy-Vee and bought the ingredients for Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade Martinis and spent the evening drinking a few of those. By the time I return to work the beginning of April, my head will be in a better place. Look forward… Look forward…
