where is all the lj fun & excitement
so, i'm waiting for you all (except brandon and mike) to realize that i do exist here. so what if it's my fault for not adding all my friends to my list yet and just now getting around to commenting on some of your lj entries. i want you to pay attention to me!!!
work has actually been interesting since returning from the holidays. i'm starting to have that intoxicating illusion of importance that comes with constantly having people at your desk discussing projects while getting calls on both the desk phone and the cell phone. it never rains, it pours!
so, this new-found interest in work thing is interesting considering i've been applying for other jobs in the company. its a combo of wanting to try something different, needing to get out of division engineering in order to advance my career, and being desparate to cut down on the threat of out-of-town projects which cause me to be away from my family for extended periods of time. somehow news of my applications has reached my director (3 levels up in management) and he made a discouraging comment about one of the jobs i applied for that i'm not sure how to take. not sure if he is really concerned for something he thinks is a bad career move for me (not an opinion shared by all but flattering considering he doesn't know me that well) or if he's trying to discourage me from leaving the department (flattering as well for obvious reasons). i'm toying with the idea of setting up a meeting to figure out what he meant by the whole thing.
well that's enough for now.
