fuck and run

big upheavals at the workplace. firings, promotions. all in the course of a day.

i just got a promotion and i'm already up for another one. this is concerning.

the pending "promotion" could land me in a shittier hole than the one i'm in. in terms of what i've gotta deal with.

i'm like a substitute teacher. i could get dropped into fucking warzone for a day, but as bad as it is... it's just that day. imagine having to station there for a year.

(that analogy felt a bit clunky. substitute teacher/soldier? which one is it, malice? which one is it?!?)

i was reading some old archived posts from this blog and i thought it was funny how many times over the past several years i've written about how badly i need to leave this job...

well, here's another one.

i cannot be here by the end of this year. i've got to make something happen. things are not dire yet, but i need to make a preemptive strike. i need to start doing pertinent stuff.

contrary to the urban legends, i'm *not* getting any younger...
