Forgot to add, that BITES, megan. What the hell was that giant push for you and that job for the last couple of months (which, IIRC, started from their end) if that's the end of it?
The push was from within my group. That all could still happen. I did learn today that we got the account I went to Maryland for. And my review this year was very good with talk of promotion.
This job was actually the other (production and design) group on my floor.
The good news? My ex-future manager
would have hired me
and is willing to fully recommend me for other project mgr positions outside the company. And is also willing for me to show our new Big Boss her goal descriptions and assessment criteria as part of a discussion on how my group might improve incentives, etc.
The bad news? The toxic environment of my group that has led all of us to be disgruntled and led me to apply for this?
Is what sank my application. When I was presented to others on the mgmt team as a candidate (not anyone I have really worked with mind you), they thought I was too negative.
I'm glad the ex-future manager was so candid and supportive. I think that she thinks I can improve this and maybe still eventually transition there. One of the available positions is currently frozen so there may be another opportunity at some point. It was made clear that this was not a decision based on my work at all. And I learned that none of the project mgrs I have worked with were negative about me.
I'm trying to look at it as another thing I might use to leverage my current position. There have been a number of structural changes in the upper levels of my group so this is a chance to see if things improve or whether I need to look elsewhere.

Okay, another nail polish order is in the mix. I ordered two browns for ita + base and top coat, 2 bottles for burrell + base and top coat and three bottles for me. Spending this much on nail polish is a tad frivolous, but I feel okay about it given that it's making me very happy.
In other news, do not want today or tomorrow. Friday, please come early. Thanks.
Despite my boss telling me not to lose any sleep, I seem to be working myself up into a panic attack. Man, I wish she'd call me back and let me know how bad the fallout is. I'm feeling kind of abandoned on the edge of the cliff, here.
This would take care of all my polish needs: [link] I only ever do black or silver (sometimes French manicure).
Dude, those nubar polish collections are making me drool.
Ooh, thanks, Kat! I can't believe I'm excited for
brown.
I don't dress in brown. But I like it in makeup.
Oh! I forgot to order Sam yesterday. Must try and remember to do it tonight.
ZK, you're not abandoned--your boss is being supportive. Deep breaths.
I'm back to inviting myself to meetings again. I hate when other people get into the requirements gathering business. I need to have the total application picture. Me me me me me.
I discovered today the lady at Chipotle knows what Izze I drink. I need variety in my life. On the other hand, blackberry Izze is mighty tasty.
Love the green one I have, but I would have done better choosing just the exact colors I wanted.
Okay, my mom's helper who is supposed to come and help me this afternoon is not here yet. I hope she is okay.
ita, I should have asked, but I went for a this one: [link] and this one [link] with one with a little shimmer and a little more red and the other more matte.
Timelies all!
Apparently I now have a niece. (Came home from dance practice last night to a message from my mom that my sister-in-law had the baby. So far nothing from my brother, but I guess he's a bit preoccupied.)
