this morning #1691.
this morning, now that a full week had passed since i’d blindly accepted my promotion without thinking of the impact it’d have on the way i saw myself, i’d gained a little bit of perspective. enough that i wasn’t freaking out as much anymore. mentally, i’d had one foot out the door for so long that i’m lucky nobody’d noticed. instead of being forced out, they pulled me in. that’s job security right there. a steady paycheck. with the world on fire like it is, it’s one less thing for me to worry about. being a manager will likely be an upgrade. a new challenge? perhaps. i mean, i can handle the job. i’m no idiot. smarter than most of my coworkers. SO glad to be free of menial tasks. that boring crap? those suckers can keep that.
