Anya ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I hate writing about myself. I can't seem to come up with anything that says, "She can write anything. Really. Also, she understands that new-fangled web stuff."
The best advice I got from the overpriced coach I hired to help me with my resume was not to worry about sounding over-the-top. You're an expert, you excell, whatever.
God dammit. I waited to order something for xmas because certain family members couldn't commit to a plan to save their lives (still haven't, I've just decided to move on with them) and now it's sold out.
I'm going to be lucky if I get through this week without punching somebody in the face.

Ahh, the Spirit of Christmas....

Ugh, msbelle. That sucks.
We have a Newer Guy today. I'm not sure he's going to take the New Guy title from New Guy, though.
Ginger, I feel that 30 years of experience puts someone at a good senior experience age, but I'm not sure how HR and employers do the math. I think there's a conflicting desire to have young experienced staff.
Ginger, I would definitely say more than 20, if not the full 30. I think 15 undercuts your expertise too much.
Yeah, I have 15 years of experience, and don't feel all that senior!
Given the discussion and HR pissing me off AND me knowing what is going on with me this year, my review/plan for next year will read something like:
With only 2 years of experience in this roll, I am a F'in EXPERT.
I am going to angle for a title addition for my postion (I need to be hyphenated so my boss keeps an assistant) and a bump in days off and base pay raise. Trifectca baby!
ION, I am going to tattoo "Set nocount on" on my forehead. And then put a mirror on my desk to I can read it while working. I'd have to have the text backwards so I could read it in a mirror, like "Ambulance" on the front of an ambulance.
I have 20 years of experience, and I don't think anyone even guesses other than my boss. Sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it makes me bristle. I'm not that much younger than the apparently grizzled vets, I'm learning. They just got rode harder and put up wetter than I did.
Sometimes I feel like I might as well say my first job was dinosaur wrangler.
