It's Personal

A few weeks ago I was rejected for a position I really wanted. I wrote about it at length here. Details are not important or interesting enough to go into here, but I felt the sting of this rejection again this evening. And since this happened while I’m watching the World Series, I’ll quote the great Yogi Berra to describe how this feels, “It’s deja vu all over again.”

Without really trying, I grew a career out of a job that I fell into haphazardly. I find people engaging, so it’s not like I've hated my work, but once you start down a path, it’s difficult to change course. Actually, it’s impossible to change without a strong desire or plan to try something different.
