Working Nine to fiv...um...Eight to Six...er...Seven to ....
I was greeted yesterday morning with the news that I would be promoted to director of my office effective immediately with what could not be considered an insignificant raise. I was at almost this exact point last year when a previous director had left and I was asked to take the acting directorship until a replacement could be found. At that time, just a few weeks into starting my MBA, I envisioned apocalyptic scenarios of outright hostile backstabbing, professional suicide, and dookie getting smeared on anything I tried to do. This time around, those things haven't exactly changed but for whatever reason, I'm completely confident I can handle it or at the very least, realize that if I can't, I'm not going to be hunted and brought irrevocably down, never to work again. How in the hell did I get here?
I don't seem like this person but apparently I am. I still feel rather seventeen, gangly, and clueless to this whole "professional responsibility" thing but whatever the disconnect, this is where I'm at and I'm willing to give it a run for its money. The Dean who anointed me yesterday morning gave me these words of support, "You've always known what you needed to do and you deferred to other people. Now's the time for you to stand up and do it without reservation." It was a little less spiritual then it sounds but it did have that sense of cracking a crop across my trained thoroughbred thighs so the intent isn't lost on me. Of course I'm moving my favorite office-bulletin board affirmation to the director’s office down the hall, the one that starts out,
A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves.
But then of course right underneath, I've added my all-time favorite, get-your-head-out-of-your-ass affirmation from Eleanor Roosevelt,
You must do the thing you think you cannot do
So they kind of balance or if nothing else, they allow me, the Fence-Sitter, to have a good view of the edge of impending oblivion while at the same time, the vision of righteous accomplishment. It's a good line to be straddling right now.
