That’s the sound of the ax at work falling in my department. Again.
Some of you may remember last October when a couple of my friends were let go. I survived that without getting the ax, and since then I’ve moved into an informal position of leadership on my team. Still, it’s unnerving when the people around [...]

Apparently, I quit teaching too soon. Check this out.
Wow. I’ll be interested to see how it works. I like the idea, not because I think that throwing money at everything works, but because the fact that they’re going to be paying teachers so much more means that they can demand more from their teachers.
Just look [...]

Work is driving me crazy. I’m exhuasted from all the stress and from working too-long days, on top of a too-long commute. (To be fair, I’ve only ever had commutes about this long–an hour each way–so it’s not just the commute, but I’ve been dreaming of a work-at-home job, or at least one that’s a [...]

I’m supposed to be at work right now, and instead, I’m lying in my bed relaxing. Ahhhh!
Ok, so I had to exaggerate my condition just a teensy bit to take today off. Still…all hail the mental health day! I plan on doing as little as is humanly possible. And every time I think, “Oh, [...]

Remember the promotion I was waiting to hear on? Didn’t get it.
They hired outside the company, which I knew was a solid possibility the entire time. My CEO brought me into his office today to let me know, and he was really nice about it. Apparently, the guy they did hire has A LOT more [...]

Ok, so if I wasn’t freaked out enough about Krystal losing her job, two of my coworkers were just fired. Yep, that’s the sound of me freaking out!
Logically, I know I’m safe. For now. All my bosses, including the CEO, are always showering me with praise. I work hard, I do a good job, and [...]

Ok, I know I’ve been pretty quiet this week. I didn’t tell y’all this, but I was actually traveling on business from Tuesday until late last night. That, plus being sick while away, meant that most nights I didn’t even check my email, much less log on and write/comment. Sorry!
In related news, anybody want some [...]

It’s been a crazy few days around here! First, after all that spending Friday night, I slept most of Saturday and then went running on Sunday, only to feel the beginnings of shin splints. (Yuck!) Stretch, massage, stretch, and I went running again Monday, feeling a little better. The good news? All that running, stretching, [...]

So I followed my resume up by bringing on a couple of big accounts–that’s good! And my CEO followed my resume up by writing a very nice, positive email. In it, he basically said that they are taking my interest seriously and that I am well-regarded in my current position, they’d like to sit down [...]

One of my friends who works with me is a step above me on the corporate ladder. She came in today and announced that she was resigning to go back to teaching. She’s really happy, and I’m really happy for her, AND it could work out well for me.
Here’s the deal: I want her job. [...]
