Career Arc

I think the turning point in my managerial career came when I broke down crying during my one-on-one with my Senior Manager. Now, in my defense, this happened in the week after I'd returned from my grandfather's funeral. However, the prosecution would like to point out that it has been well established since elementary school that I am, in fact, a crybaby.

So anyway, the actual news is that after three months of stress and long hours, I am no longer a supervisor. This was my decision. Everyone else insisted that I was quite good at it, but to be honest I don't think they were paying that much attention. (At least not during the last month, when things were getting to me more and I was letting my shit slip.) I've reached the conclusion that I could have stayed on as a supervisor and probably even moved up further, but I would have had to give up just about everything else in my life to keep it from driving me crazy. It's just not worth it.

This may mean that I'll be updating more frequently. It'd be almost impossible for me to update less frequently than over the last three months. It may not, though, because I'm refocusing my life into writing, and I need to concentrate more on my stories that have potential publication than on these musings and rants. But don't worry, I'll still be around now and then, because I sure do love me some musings and rants.
