In the most bizarre chain of events, I interviewed with John B for a planning position the other day. I think the interview went really well, but JB had some preconceptions I wasn’t able to change.    It just goes to show, you can never burn your bridges.  I didn’t burn bridges when I left MPO, but it was pretty obvious I was unhappy when Chris left.  New mgmt came in and just started pointing fingers,  with no idea of the circumstances we had endured for a year.  I think once the dust settled, they realized the situaion was more complex then any individual’s performance, but by then it was too late.  I don’t think I could have ever trusted Kevin or John in that position.  

It’s ok, because later that afternoon, I met w/ Fred and got my 2007 results. It was all positive and he even suggested that in 2008, after we go live, I could move into an operational role.  I really am looking forward to more consistency in my work life.  I don’t like learning new skills every 3 months.  I don’t mind learning, but it would be nice to have some proficiency in my job after a year.  Instead, just when I start to feel comfortable, we move into a new stage of the project and everything changes.  It’ll be interesting to see what happens, but either way I’ll be happy. I’m recommitting myself to doing my best and being 100% present when I’m at work.
