vicarzI suck as a human being for posting 3 times not just in one day...but in the AM. I'm about to combine my prior 2 link-posts to be less annoying.
I just got the calls from my boss and my soon-to-be-boss, as my detail is approved starting Aug 15 through Oct 8! So that fuck you I gave to the new boss here is loud and delivered. Today I must stop by and thank my mentor and friend for setting this up. I must make sure I clean up loose ends well here, and remember to make sure everything I do on the detail is amazing. You see, if I don't get the other job, I've been nudged towards a promotion with this group sometime around January.
I feel so good right now! I faced a shitty situation, dealt with it rationally, found it wasn't working out, sought new alternatives, and succeeded in moving on (at least in the immediate sense). I think my problem-solving skills have demonstrated themselves to be effective!
I was thinking about me at work, and as a person in general. I'm very uh...socially motivated - I like to be liked. This is both a potential strength and a liability in the workplace. Channeled with reliance and minor feedback, I'm a stellar employee because I really just want to do a good job and make my department successful. However, attacked internally I suffer in inter-office wars as I am not able to shrug off triffling bullshit. I know the attacks can't go anywhere and don't matter if I don't let them bother me - I also know the best approach to them is not to care...but I do care. I hate being attacked, whether successful or no. Rather than make myself cold and isolated emotionally, I think I'll just continue to seek out environments where my "social needs" blend well with the organization.
