So that's where you've been!

What a ride... what did you learn?

That actually using the right words matter more than thinking them. That I may not be cut out for it, at least not yet. I'm still impatient, get easily frustrated when I perceive someone else is being dense. All part of the communication gap.

Things to work on. Maybe in another two years.

Did you want to be a manager? Some people are too smart to be perceived as "good management material."

I want to be in the IT strategy group some day. The path to that goes right through middle management. I have to.

Well, it's nice that they gave you specific feedback so you know exactly what to do if you want that job. They don't do that everywhere.

I see. I was up for my boss's job about 18 months ago and I'm sure I didn't get it because my mouth doesn't always edit what my brain thinks.

I didn't really want the responsibility, but I wouldn't have minded the money. Plus the boss has turned out to be such an idiot it begs belief.

Yeah they don't do that with external candidates. With internals, they do where I work.

That's what gets to me... there are so many management-level people who are dumb as bricks... and I think I'm smarter than a brick (maybe not by much)...

dumb as bricks but good at polishing the bull$hit (though my boss isn't good at that either)

I feel so lethargic today.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

It must be going around, that's how I feel. I'm just ready for the weekend.

ok I think I just did something stupid.... the manager of our building just called me and asked if I would be willing to show one of the apartments... and I said sure... now i am thinking why did I say yes...

she doesn't want to do it because she will show up to show it and people won't show up and stuff, so it is a wasted trip for her....

and the lady she usually gets to do it (one of the other tenants) is out of town right now...

ok.. the manager gave me the code to get the key from the lock box on the apartment.. she gave me a number code but the box has letters ....lol

[Bootylicious!! 2]

Maybe you are supposed to use the letters that correspond with the numbers.

I was thinking that but wouldn't she have told me that?? ..lol

she is a manager of a couple of buildings so maybe she got things confused....

they are supposed to call me when someone is coming to see the place so I will ask then....
