Working On A Quirky Graph

The countdown begins. I have absolutely set a goal for myself to be either in a new position or out of this one in a little under a month. I’m tired of the guesswork when it comes to where the new roadmap will be, or what the priority will change to from month to month.

And the atmosphere is toxic.

However, with this game, I also don’t want to jeopardize any compensation that is coming down the pike. I am not looking for anything more than what was promised over a year ago. However, since I’ve gotten the first quote to stabilize the house, I’m going to need every penny I can put my hands on. All that is required is patience.

I really suck at being patient.

So, to try and find a way to make this work, I’ve been strategically taking some time off, mostly long weekends so I can space out my irritation with the current power. I’ve been trying to fly under the radar, not have any questions, not need any assistance, but I didn’t dodge quickly enough and am now tied up in a meeting to go over a project I have no desire to do.

This particular exercise has some benefits however, by allowing my to practice my blank face, While there are definitely meetings I need to be in, so long as I can keep my face blank, my answers pleasant and vague I should be mostly ok. But this presentation in a week or so will tax all of that good will I’ve been trying to build up. I will either be able to pull off a fairly basic, bland presentation, or my face will give me away and I will end up burning all the bridges before I’m out of harms way..

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What if my intentions are purely self serving? Is that just purgatory? Or. even worse, the suburbs?
