A new location brought me a tad out of my security bubble at the beginning of the season. Some of the new people I'm forced to work with daily has helped me work on my people skills, and has brought me from time to time out of my bubble as well.
I've stated before that I want to be EDR manager next year. Even the mere thought of that actually occurring scares me a little. But what pulled me out of my bubble and threw me five yards away was when I learned that there is an EDR manager position open right now at OFSL. Not only would it be back in my OF location, but it's NOW, not next summer. I was tentative when I went after it. Which was probably my demise. I know I'm not going to get it, being realistic. They did not have a signup sheet in Canyon, I know they like to hire within the location that the opening is at, and they already did interviews. Jessica Tonn - the Food and Bev over at OFSL, told me today that they did interviews on Wednesday and the only way I could have a shot is to contact Will directly. Tomorrow I'm going up to the Food and Bev office to grab his phone number and find a way to call him up.
The day that I found out there was an opening, Ivan, my Food and Bev here at Canyon, sent Will an email saying I wanted the job. Probably adding a recommendation (I have faith in Ivan). However, I haven't heard anything back - Ivan asked me the other day, which I think meant he knew the interviews were happening and if I hadn't heard back I wasn't really in the running. Or that's my thought at least.
I'm not terribly concerned about not getting it. It'd mean moving, but worse, it'd mean going into a pre-set up place and trying to fit myself in. Trying to manage something that's already been set up is not as thrilling a thought for me as building it from the ground up HOW I WANT IT and then managing that. Beside, there's a jackass (named Jack) who thinks he'd be a big part of everything and I don't want to know if I could work with him or not.
I think it'll be better for me to stay this season out where I am and pick up a manager position next summer - start fresh.
But the concept! Oh my gosh, talk about out of your security bubble!! I want it but these last few days has made me realize HOW nervous I really am.
Anyway. This is the end of my Saturday. It's still sunny out and I'm thinking of going out and doing something, but I really ought to do laundry tonight so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow. I want to go to Bozo tomorrow but I don't really have anyone to go with and I have no pressing need to go. We'll see.
