I hope everyone is doing okay. I have been trying to ignore the various signals, but the following have caught my attention.
I was told we would reduce days of commuting to work from 3 to 2. I like to commute in because my friends are there, and I meet with investigators face to face at times. I was chatting with her about taking on challenges and extra work I have to put in, but I try to take it on as a learning experience and with some tasks I thrive on because they are at times exciting, and she took it as I compete with others. I immediately cut her off and corrected her it’s an opportunity to compete with myself of reaching my goals. I was thinking what the heck was she talking about? I expressed to her that I had no intention of competing with anyone, I’m confident about my work and I don’t have to apply for a job I don’t know how to do, never have. I must’ve triggered something because she blushed.
I thanked her for approving my day off, not charged to my PTO, but I worked it already anyway. She’s not like me, we don’t run on the same loyalty. All the Best!
