I played hookey from work today.
Not because I wanted to but because I damned well deserved it. Especially after Black Tuesday last week and being grilled on Monday. That and I have the LSAT in less than 48 hours.
To add insult to injury, my manager wanted me to work this weekend. Told him flat out no. Not for at least another two weeks.
The day was spent sleeping in to 7, spa day for the pony, complete with clipping her winter coat (she was unamused) out for next week (final show of the season!) and getting her shots (really unamused). Then off to the CDE for mimosas, porches and CDE. Topped it off with sandwich, beer and ben and jerries. It was a very relaxed day.
Tomorrow I get to hang out in academia land at UK and do lunch with the boy, oh yeah, sleep in more too.
But my day today isn't without highlights.
I'm making it no secret that I'm trying to escape from the Jungle before it goes into the cannibalizing mode of peak season. I've been there for a year now and I haven't progressed beyond the basic job specs. In fact, I've maxed out the job itself. I'm in the most tenured department, on top of being one of the top members of team and being in Quality Assurance (one of ten people in the entire building carrying out audits). Unless I stay there for about 5 years (ala Canadian's method, which is semi-successful at the moment) and have certain male anatomy with an military background, I'm not ever going to be considered for management. Despite degree(s), success
I've hit the glass ceiling.
I'm smart, able and I can run circles around 90 percent of current population. I'm worth more than current pay and I have low tolerance for what's occuring. I've put out feelers since last week and I've begun to get some small response from the crowd. I have my first interview next week. Will post an update.
Everyone else is fine, Sinari is preparing for her second level stuff for next week. Bella is working fabulously. And we're preparing for the freestyle debut with S, Dr. Who Soundtrack OST Series 3 and 4.
I'm just hoping I don't get any backlash from taking off...
Still need to pay car insurance.
