Great article and I love the QTIP acronym.
Thanks for the feedback Snowie. I liked this job in the beginning, but as the work stopped coming in it got more cutthroat and stressful. So I'm not missing the job a bit. I miss some of the people, but not all the corporate crud.
Thinking mark knows that I need to look at the big picture of why this happened and what a unique opportunity I have to work on me and go after what I really want. Feeling mark has his blinders on and is only seeing the here and now. I need to let Feeling mark get it out of this system so that Thinking mark can get our butt(s) in gear.
I know the booze isn't helping. I'm a cyclical drinker and thankfully the cycles are getting shorter. This time I had 4 months. Last time it was 2 years. I can tell this cycle is almost over because Feeling mark is starting to listen and work with Thinking mark. Once they start cooperating again I can get back on track.
After my second interview with the same company on 9/12 they said they hoped to make their decision by 9/15. I haven't heard anything and I'm going to call them this afternoon and see what the deal is. I'm dreading that because not knowing is sometimes better than knowing.
Thanks for listening. And thanks Tina for your email. I'll respond shortly.
