as you will know, gentle reader, citygirrrl applied for an internal transfer/promotion which i didn't get. i was, frankly, gutted. i had been very hopeful that a good job would come up internally, and that the management team there were keen to get me on board. i'm supposed to be on some sort of management development track, so in theory, i had the full support of the personnel guys and my current bosses.
there have been all sorts of organisational (and, dare i say, political) reasons why i didn't get the job - or more specifically, why i was steered towards applying for a role to which i was completely unsuited. but it has been very difficult to stop myself from wondering if, perhaps, i'm just not as good as i thought i was.
well, now i get to put my cock on the block, so to speak, and find out just how employable i really am. my CV is out and i'm looking for a new job.
i resigned from here in december, which means that i'll be out of here in early march, once i've worked out my notice. the guys i work with have been nice, n'all, but they'd already arranged my replacement and the grandes fromages are going to get what they want out of this, which is my continued, contractually-enforced loyalty over the year end close period.
spacemonkey has been incredibly supportive - especially considering that our relationship now bears the additional strain of another 2 months of to-ing and fro-ing between cities, whilst i have to find the spare cash to maintain two mortgages... but having a definite move-date means we've been able to plan the development work on our house - i suspect that my last two months in london are going to fly past with so much to look forward to!
in the meantime - need a beancounter? feel free to email for my CV...
