Question Career opportunities…

The kind that comes and knocks…have you ever pushed for the next rung in the organizational ladder?...for the past year I’ve been advocating for myself with regards to a new position in a very exciting branch of my field…and I just got a call to go and sit for a first meeting with H.R…more money,office,new attire,heavy clout…the real grown up shit…all of a sudden I am sick with anxiety, my stomach is in knots now that change has a serious potential to impact me…it’s just occurring to me how comfortable I’ve become and I’m questioning myself…anyone been through a similar scenario….did you grab the brass ring?...how did it play out, how anxious were you?...I feel nauseas...really…I do…

i am starting to get close to the point where i think i can really make some pushes. outside of the management guys in the place, we don't really have anyone with the same skill set that i have, so that is nice in a way.

i've been trying to broaden my range of projects and have been pushing to get as many random certifications and such that will only help me later on. was real hopeful to do this bridge inspection course last month, but i got aced out of the spot by some new girl that the new boss brought along with him. she was probably idling around the office while i was actually on a real project, so she got the go ahead.

once i have that though, i could be a commodity to any place around town.

My last day at my current position is tomorrow. I too have recently reached out to move up a rung. I am starting with a new company in a higher positiuon March 15th. I have a shiny new office and 20% more pay. This job is contingent on finishing my MBA. I have about a year left.

I was never once jittery or anxious duringthe i nterview process, it was mainly waiting for the offer to be extended ....

I don’t sweat interviews…I have style for miles…it’s the idea of change…change of environment,change of location,change of colleagues,change of routine….and additional responsibility…that has me tweakin…

I'm gettin older in my years
Feel me?
I got a folder worth of fears
But it's cool,we gotta make it better
Don't take my sweater
y'all make my head hurt
I ain't even gonna finish this song, it's too long
I'ma watch Cops, in my La-Z-Boy, in my thong
