What a Life
I really don't like the holiday season anymore. I don't know when I stopped liking it, I think I slowly started disliking it since birth. Seems like I never get what I want for my birthday or Christmas, a family member goes crazy in some way shape or form and other bad things happen. This year, on top of all the other usual lame stuff, I find out that I didn't get a promotion that I interviewed for and someone that has a weaker resume than me got it. The only reason she got it is because she got hired into the company at a slightly higher position than me. I know I'm a better fit for the job, I know her experience because I went to college with her. She was a biochem major and she did not take any analytical classes and she gets promoted into an analytical position over me and I took a very intensive analytical chemistry class. I even have some experience with the instrument for that lab and she has no experience at all. Then to top it all off my direct supervisor is getting promoted so his position is open. I know that no one is going to apply for the job and the ones that are going to won't be well qualified and they're going to ask me to take the position because that's how my current supervisor got the job. I don't want that job though. It kind of makes me think that they didn't promote me to the chemist job I wanted so I could fill my supervisor's position. The only good thing I can get from this is I'm so upset that I just want to move to Canada, preferably Vancouver. I am going to visit Vancouver March 3rd through March 10th. I'm excited. If you've ever been in a rut like this please tell me how to work through it.
