metamorphosis

Couldn’t resist popping into jobstreet.com to browse for available jobs. Shutting myself out of what is going around at work is difficult. There’s a tinge of jealousy when everyone else around are getting their promotions, even the youngest member of our department who came in after me has jumped one grade while I’m still stuck here wilting away.

The next jump up to accountant is not within reach from my present position and as I reviewed recently, the distance is pulling even further apart.

What should I do next? I am trying so hard not to look at others but I just feel pathetic being as such. 2 days ago, a new list of promotions was put on the board. I did not expect my name to be on but another name from department has received a promotion, I sank even further. After all, she’s been here for 6 years while I am only into my 2nd year, so it’s not fair to compare as such.

The whole situation at work is stifling. Like a butterfly going through metamorphosis, the struggle out of the cocoon encasing me seems more demanding than I thought.
