Frustrating news today: City Manager denied the department's request for my promotion.
So there's that.
Fortunately, I have a lovely boss who is equally frustrated, and is completely accepting when I tell him that in that case, there are certain tasks I will no longer be completing, as they fall well outside the scope of my position and pay grade. And another boss who insists that as long as he doesn't have to do the Daily Bulletin, he will take over doing whatever I don't want to do anymore. And cop colleagues who don't mind when I break down crying, and instead of running away horrified, extend lunch invitations and take me out for ice cream.
And I'm going to try to make my way on my own to some crime analyst training, so there, City that is trying to keep me down.
So everyone should keep their eyes peeled for police records/crime analyst positions in their respective areas. I will likely be shopping in a few months' time.
I mean, things could be a lot worse, right? At least I have a job, and a job with a city government, that's pretty sweet, too. But christ on a pony, how frustrating and completely demoralizing.
I'm totally leaving this public to formally announce: City of Joplin, I deserve better.
