harbl encouragement thread

please post pix. or come back wearing it.

i am in fact 2 ft short. working on it.

so my new job is looking to add a 4th supervisor. i have been there one month. i am crazy but not unstable and i think i would be a good supervisor. but if i apply and don't get it, will there be office politics problems? weirdness? it's only open to people already working there.

can you guarantee no office politics or weirdness under any circumstances

if not go for the option with more cash/holidays/lackeys imo

i spent years supervising part-time student staff, then full-time professional staff, then no staff, now part-time student staff and full-time professional staff. i am a good supervisor but i hate it and wish there had been a way for me to advance without becoming a supervisor again.

so, i am not a good person to ask.

yes this is also true managing people is horrible

i trust this has all been helpful obv

well

lol

i figured out that they demoted one of the 3 supervisors who it only took me a few weeks to determine i did not like. her last action was a scoldy email to everyone about different rules that were being broken. we had a big meeting on friday about some things that were going on before i got there. i think after that meeting she was demoted by the other bosses who had the meeting. i am still on some of the wrong email groups and missing half the emails. i was wondering why she has sort of disappeared.

i am thinking i will apply but i still have a couple weeks to decide. i may have a quality that is needed. because i come from a well-run district everyone likes and this is a messy one with retention problems (i knew this coming in--i am here for the good commute tbh, and won't die if i only last a few years here because i was thinking about moving on in that time frame anyway).

don't go, buy the w/d

ive applied for a job i didnt think was a good fit but after mapping my competencies now feel I'm the natural person for the role but i dont want it and would refuse it I'm only applying for the experience but when i dont get shortlisted ill shit fury and i referred to it just there as a rollercoaster of promotions

hi

well, i hope i do get it. i'm trying to convince myself i might *not* get it so it won't be so difficult to be rejected, but i think my chances are decent? also they did have to re-list the job for an extra week after it first closed, so maybe they didn't get many applicants they wanted. my writing sample was really good.

i got my pension statement today and i'm excited at the thought that if i continue on my current pace of never using sick leave i can retire in january of 2039. accrued sick leave can subtract from your eligibility date. i will be 54. i just need to save up enough money to get me through the following 40 years. it'll be easy. also i am going to retire in spain, uruguay, or bulgaria. everyone is invited to come stay with me.

we'll be in sevilla from 2043 onwards fyi

great! see you then

shall we bring anything?

choritho

i might try to negotiate a return to my old job

how was your big day in prison

it was actually very productive. i stopped at a farm store on the way back, got home way earlier than i expected, and will get $80 in mileage moneys

i bought a sewing machine

i made a tote bag

encouragement
