I'm trying to be more positive these days but I seem like I'm up against so much. It's 6 month review time at work and I was pulled in for mine on Monday. All in all, I received a lot of positive comments. My bosses love the work I'm doing with the donors and they couldn't praise my writing enough...when I asked to perhaps do some courses to help me improve, they said it wouldn't really be worth it since "I'm already very talented."
But - praise aside - no promotions this year. Probably not one next year either, since the phrase my boss used was "hopefully, we can talk about that next year." But they told that to my co-worker who's about to start her 3rd year doing the same.old.shit.day.in.day.out so I don't trust them. Oh, and if I'm such a fucking talented writer, why aren't I getting more writing assignments? I spend most of my day chasing up stupid crap...*sigh*
Sorry for the rant guys...I'm just not sure where I'm going with all this. Feeling a bit lost right now. I thinkl my best friend had the right idea...piss off to India for 9 months, live in a hut on the beach and do nothing but yoga. He probably feels better about himself than me with my fancy degree which earned me the right to fill out accounting vouchers and run errands for my boss. Ah well, I guess at least I should be grateful I have a job...plenty of people don't in this horrible economy.
In more positive news, I'm up to 31.2 lbs in weight watchers. The ballet and the exercise are certainly helping! I'm about half way which is both encouraging and vaguely depressing...all that work only to get half way! And I'm sure the next 30 lbs will be much harder than the first *sigh*. But still...30 lbs is no small achievement so I'll take it!
