Well, maybe it's bitter grapes, but I am a little angry about the decision by my management team at Target to offer the job to someone else. Although I knew in my heart of hearts that they had already decided (and perhaps even promised) the job to the other candidate long before they even posted the job, I had a glimmer of hope that they would give it to me. But, alas, no. They told me that my strengths are in supervising and managing a team, and while this new position will indeed have people reporting to it, they are looking for someone with a more analytical background (never mind that I used to be an analyst in one of my previous positions). I hope they will be happy with this person, especially considering that less than a year ago she was "bragging" to everyone who would listen that she was 'too good' for this department and she was going to get a new job downtown as soon as she could. Oh well. Am I bitter? Yes, I guess I am. I think I have the right to pout it out for awhile anyway!
I'm going with the faith that God has something else planned for me. I have to or I'll be consumed with bitterness and anger. So for now I look internally (although that won't get me anywhere unless I can suddenly produce a college degree or make Target believe that I had simply forgotten to tell them that I already had one). Then, on December 18 if I have no new job inside, I get a long, long vacation (and 44 weeks severence to go along with it). So until then, I am also putting out feelers for any company looking for a very highly thought of supervisor and manager of people. I'm applying my chapstick as I type!! :o)
Keep the prayer chain coming!! Thanks!
