So....I'm possibly up for a job that requires some explaining. On one hand it would be my dream job at a place that I used to call home. What makes it dicy....the job would be to replace my old boss who is taking early retirement at just two weeks notice.
I left this place solely because of this woman's inappropriate behavior towards me. She made my life miserable in spades! When I left it took everyone there by utter surprise. I was well liked and known as a hard worker. Unfortunately, my repeated attempts to bring what was happening to the higher ups was met with disbelief. There was an amazing amount of reshuffling going on in management that seemed to make everyone's life difficult. In handling this issue they did two things: 1. hoped it would just go away 2. decided the best way to resolve this was to move us to desks right beside each other in a secluded room. Hmmmm....
I know I should have delt with this quite differently in hindsight. But...at the time...going thru a divorce from a 16 year marriage; my companion and best friend (my dog) had to be put to sleep with a sudden, rapidly moving illness that gave me no notice; having to move twice and fight for keeping my home (that I still can't afford, but it's mine), AND getting pneumonia because of all the stress; was just too much so I ran.
I know...whine, whine, whine....
Now it seems that, at minimum, something happened that has led to her quick departure. For that alone I am grateful. Being able to put the powers that be at ease about my departure so I can show how great I would be at this job is a bit daunting. I know that getting this job would be amazing for me. I absolutely love the place!! The down side would be poor pay and lots of unpaid overtime.
I dream of the day when I actually can be paid well for my hard work AND love what I do.
Right now....a great latte and a decent breakfast are waiting for me. I LOVE weekends!!! This one is not so great as it's the first weekend that my wife and I have been apart....awh....
Hey...remember I don't see her during the week cause she is in school in nyc....
I know, I know....WAY too much "whoa is me" today.
