but my inner 10 year old is pouting
Ang deserves it, Ang is better qualified and more experienced. She's taken bigger leaps spent much more time holding hands her her VCs. The adult in me gets it, it was the right decision. From the business perspective it was exactly the right decision.
But my inner child, the 10 yr old who wanted to be first, or the group leader, or whatever, is whining. But I volunteer more, and I grab more projects, and I train others more. I spend more time with our vendors and our team... wah wah wah.
I wish life were as we're all told it will be. Pick your career, get a job, go after it, and win the big trophy - office -raise - paycheck. etc etc etc.
In reality its let your career pick you, and bust your ass and maybe get a nice pat on the head. OK well i might be exaggerating. My focus now must change, now all I can do is support the hell out of her, until she gets promoted again and I can slide right into her spot. Our department keeps shifting and its strangely comforting and concerning at the same time. In one way I'm happy to be a part of a group like this. We're making huge strides in the wine industry, we're involved in things like corporate head-hunting. And watching my managers create their own personal dream-team of executives. But there's always the chance, that they'll reduce, minimize, and decide they dont need us all.
Just today I want to be 10, and whine that I didn't get picked first. But maybe tomorrow I'll be 12 and be ok with it.
