SO OLD
It occurred to me yesterday that it's been ten years since my friend Sean and I made The Warworld Gambit. Seriously. Ten years. And it's still probably one of the better things I've done...
I need to get a good rant in about work. School has just really reminded me how I used to be the Golden Child wherever I worked, and while all of the sudden I'm not good enough for them at this job, school shows that I've clearly still got it. In kindergarden I tested with an IQ so high my parents would never quite tell me what it was for fear I'd get an overgrown ego (fat lot of good that did, maybe they shouldn't have later reassured me it was over 150 ;) ), I was promoted to assistant manager at my Doubleday when I was 18, I was responsible for pretty much running the store while the manager was setting up the ShopKo thing while I was at Payless, and yet I'm not good enough to be treated with respect at this job, not good enough to ever be promoted or even transferred to the store I want to work at. It's enough to make me want to go about my day muttering, "Here I am, brain the size of a planet..." It's great motivation for school, but I'm really hoping this negativity doesn't fester too much and drive me mad in the meantime. Graham was right when he observed that this was usually the point where I left a job.
I'm gonna put together an interview for Simon, now that we know he's involved with the new licensee. Anybody got anything they're dying for me to stick in there?
