This blog was created to get me thinking about writing something, anything, every day and put it out there for someone to stumble across. Obviously, I've been pretty diligent at keeping that promise to myself. Anyways, this is my entry for the day.
Ice cream vs. better salary: I appreciate the morale-building aspects of free ice cream day at work, but wouldn't mind if there was no ice cream and the pay higher. My morale in this job at this point needs more than ice cream to rescue it. I was passed over for a promotion to team lead and at this point I am the only person who has been here for four years and hasn't seen a promotion of some sort. I've got five years of full-time experience in the industry, am known widely (and am not imagining this) as the most all-round technically knowledgable person in my department and they choose over me someone who comes to me for help with their work. But I guess having been an assistant manager at a fast food franchise means something to the VPs who end up making these decisions. Or, and I shudder at this thought, it was purely based on reasons of personality. I'd rather not think about that, as it depresses me.
Off for seconds of fudge ripple. Then work on my resume on company time.
Never been to Spain.
