Time: 4:24pm
Mood: Sleepy...
Song of the moment: Mobile - Tomorrow Starts Today (the whole CD!)
So I'm sitting at work... blah. It's been really slow. I guess I can't complain b/c when it gets busy, it get CRAZY busy. I'm trying to keep myself busy but damn it's hard. This is the problem w/ working in the automotive industry... it's either super busy, or super dull... nothing really in between. I really need a job that just has steady work. It keeps me interested. Right now, I'm just bored w/ my job.. and I feel like I'm not really moving ne where (I'm not really learning anything new... I think I've reached my learning curve pinacle).
I found out recently about a R&D job opening within my company and it's pretty much what I want to do. It sounds like an awesome job. The lab manager I work closely with was nice enough to recommend me for the job. I even sent in my resume. But there is one huge problem: Office politics. Apparently the guy looking for a new R&D engineer is afraid that if he was to offer me the position, management that I currently work under won't be too happy, because essentially he would be "stealing" me away from their department. That sucks. I hate the fact that an opportunity will be missed because of the ever-so-dreadful office politics. I feel stuck. I know one way or another, I will be leaving this position eventually. I really like my company (the people are awesome) but the job I have is not one that I want. I hope at least I'll be considered for the job, but I have a feeling it's a long shot for that to happen.
This weekend has felt really long and I'm still recovering from it. I went to Char's bachelorette party this weekend. We went to Easy and the Fifth. Man I havn't been clubbing in so long :S By the end of the night, my knees were killing me, and I couldn't walk properly (when I got home I almost fell over when I was talking off my shoes! haha). It was fun w/ the girls :D We spent the entire night checking out cute guys :D Hooray for eye-candy :D the bouncer.... looked exactly like Paul Kariya! hehe! Us girls are so silly!
So the countdown officially begins..1 more year until the house closes!! YAY! That is... if there are no delays (I pray there aren't any!). Oh I can't wait! My parents are driving me up the wall!! :S

Office politics is in every company. Instead of fighting it, it's best to learn to roll with the punches. In your case, I'd still fight to take the new job. A month or two after you get it, you won't care how you got it so long as you got it.
