Dumped
I'm going to wear my feelings on my shoulder for a second here. It's difficult to talk about this but it's part of what has kept me away from my blog and talking in general lately.
I pushed myself to apply for a position where I work. Initially I was skeptical and didn't put a lot of ambition behind it. Well I made the first cut which left me and a peer in the running. To try to make a long story short, this peer is a fantastic person and the group evaluating us said it was extremely difficult.
I wouldn't have felt as bad if they said I missed it by a long shot but the problem is that I missed it based on a 1hr presentation. I chose a different approach and I still think that if there were different people in that seat evaluating me, I would've gotten it. Kris worked extremely hard to support me and that tears me apart too. Now I'm going ot be working for an individual who I apparently ran neck-and-neck with. I don't know how I'm going to deal with it yet.
This post isn't meant to be whiney or sound like my employment situation is bad. Quite the contrary, I'm very fortunate to be where I am today and I put 110% behind it because I'm so passionate about my work. It obviously wasn't meant to be and I'm considering the direction I want to go next.
I owed people who came here semi-regularly an explanation about why I've been so silent for a month but that's about it. I just feel like I've been dumped by someone who I became madly in love with.
