so this was more of a mentoring thing, years ago someone introduced us because she was getting a master's related to my industry on the west coast, so I introduced her to a bunch of people. She wanted a job in the industry and more exposure so I got her a gig writing for our magazine. she moved here and we met for lunch several times noting she wanted to work for my org. In the meantime she'd gotten a job a federal agency in my neighborhood that a friend is a high level director at so I arranged for happy hour at my home to maybe advance her career. When we had a logical opening, I introduced her to my bosses and pushed for her hiring, even though one of the finalists had actually worked here. In addition to her other duties, she was very interested in a part of what I'm responsible for, and we agreed for her to take that over, on the understand that I be always kept in the loop as it impacts the policy stuff that's my main job. I have continued to introduce her to people in the field that might help her and am always responsive when she needs something. It was fine at first I was cc'd and then at our march meeting she and the other douche (he's a part time contractor who is now her butt buddy I don't have time to go into his bullshit) are running a thing on stage I knew nothing about. Finally it came to head when I was left out of something I needed to be part of and actually enjoy, that she KNEW I'd enjoy and needed to be part of. Then I repeatedly asked for info on this session in a meeting next week, initially was put off nothing was prepared. Asked again monday no response. Went to my boss. She then told my boss tuesday that she had to put a dog down and was upset. While this is sad, my boss is a major dog lover who recently lost a dog so if you wanted to tug at her heartstrings that is 100% what you'd want to do. Still though, I wasnt sent anything. Asked her again Wednesday, finally sent it without an apology or anything. Looking it over I could have helped with it, but I don't know what the deal is. not wanting to share "glory?" fuck knows.Juggs said:
When I think about it, I can't think of one thing she's actually ever done for me. like not even recommending a movie or something that I might like. Someone I know far less had ripped something out of a magazine related to a hobby I do monday, and it really struck me the difference.
I think she has a personality that makes you want to do things for, she plays at being a good person and there's nothing actually there. Or she resents me for helping her. Fuck knows. Like I never expected us to be best buds, but I am just puzzled
I have decided there's no way I will quit unless I get a dream job. I like what I do and the others I deal with. She can go fuck herself.
A bad example, but look at the Castillo in St. Augustine. I've been going through my entire life and I still don't get tired of walking around it. And that's incredibly plain and boring compared to those castles.
