A Corner Office WITH a View?
So all that bitching in those previous posts must have attributed to something...
SHE LEFT! SHE FREAKIN' LEFT!
So now it's a corner office with a view. Literally. Really! All that hard work has finally paid off. In dollars, in office space, and most importantly in career advancement. Now let's hope I make the "40 under 40" list soon. :)
Regardless, it's a great start. A new beginning and a fresh start.
I can only attribute my work ethic to my athletic dicipline from years past. But more importantly I attribute these ethics, morals and values to my role models: my parents. They are truly the ones who taught me the value of hard work. Some day I will teach my own kids the same values my parents have instilled on me.
Maybe I really can go places. FINALLY someone noticed my efforts, talents and abilities. Hell, I always knew I had it in me. Early on I was ALWAYS the one who was constantly overshadowed by people faster than me in the pool, smarter than me in school, and "better" than me in the things I most enjoyed doing.
It's great to know that people really do have respect for those who are hard workers and who always strive to do the right thing...even though they may not be the fastest swimmer in the pool, the class valedictorian, (or the greatetst speller on Earth), or the "perfect" person for the job. But it's good to be recognized as competent and it's even better to have people (who aren't obligated to "support" you) FINALLY say "we're happy for you," and "this is going to be good for you, you're ready for this," and "you were good at your old job, but you'll be fantastic in this new position."
Oh, and the corner office has THREE windows. THREE! And an even better view of what the future holds...
