Where do I start
This has been a difficult couple of weeks! I’m just starting to get over this now, but someone whom I thought was a friend, and mentor, and a boss, I just found out, has been very angry with me for at least a year! And, instead of telling me about these things I was supposedly doing, didn’t say a word to me, but instead wrote an email to my current boss enumerating this list he’d kept since Dec 2005. And was still smiling at me all year.
I’m trying to figure out where my work goes from here. The position that I currently occupy at the museum is now open and a permanent position has been created - the Search for that position currently ended and I submitted a resume for it. I hope I get that position. It is a very narrow skillset - someone with a Master’s in Arts and Computer programming skills - and demonstrated interdisciplinary coordination, of which I’ve got about 7 years under my belt… and I have stellar references. But I’ve been told repeatedly that the best person will get that job - and if it’s not me, that’s tough! I’m in total agreement with this, but it’s really scary, taking a leap into a giant crevice like this. I might end up with no job pretty soon! But even if this is the case, I think I can probably find another job.
I just must say that I am currently in a position that is heavenly.
Currently studying: Tonglen Practice, Big Games, and Left-handed European-style knitting (not together).
Thank yous to: John Neill at http://www.oldmanneill.com for writing about me and inspiring me to start this up again.
