Moving On

I applied for a management position at my work. I didn't get it, but my manager was extremely gracious in giving me the news. He explained that I made the choice very difficult for him and that he went so far as to write out the pros and cons of both me and the other candidate. She got the job because of her greater familiarity with the team, the technology of that team, and some more previous management experience.

It was nice to make the short list at the end. It feels like this is a theme with me and with my sports teams, but that's OK. At least I was being considered.

By the way, I tend to think of lots of good blog topics during the day, but don't have a chance to write them out. Perhaps I need to journal my journaling ideas.
