Up For It

[eggwards]

I have an interview today. I don't have a lot of time to go into it, but basically it's for a higher position at my current workplace. I'm going up against several others, and some stiff competition. Really, i have a good chance, but I'm still having to convince myself of that.

I'm also having to convince myself that I want it. I want it because of the money, and the title, but I really don't care to be essentially in the same place, with different employees...just down the cube farm from my guys. The challenges are still the same, which aren't all that challenging. What I'm shooting for is the paycheck. I'm not finding inspiration in that. I guess my values have changed since I was in my twenties.

I bought a new suit for this last night. It was at a rather ghetto shop, but no, it's not bright red with stripes. It is however grey, and kind of shiny...maybe a bit too shiny. I'm a little self-conscious about it now. Oh well.

Nerves are on high. Luckily this isn't an all day thing.

I know, They want to do that, but they do put a lot of barriers in place these days. No one wants to take a chance anymore.

You're right, we should learn to go out on more limbs. Someone just might grab us.
