Vent and Purge

I like my job so far. I think the nice thing about this being my third grown up job is that I actually know what I’m doing. Everything that has to do with the general function of the job I already know. All I’m learning now are the details of the company.

I am a firm believer that where you are in life is related directly to what you’ve put into it. My skills and abilities to manage and problem solve come from my previous experiences. I worked hard and gleaned everything I could from each position I’ve had.

I guess all of this is just in response to some hurtful comments from someone yesterday. In essence I was being told that because I just started and I’m an assistant to my boss that my abilities are not worth my salary and I have an unfair advantage. I made my life choices. I left a great job and moved across the country having faith that everything would work out. I searched for over a month for a job that would meet my requirements and allow me to grow in my field.

It’s frustrating that I’m letting it get to me but when you think you’ve made a friend and then they turn on you it’s a little uncool.

I hope with time this person will see that I am worth my weight. I know that I am.
