Three years with this company. No true promotions -- only lateral moves. Biding time until I start to notice money-saving measures in terms of staff and space. So, I think, time to start searching. Two weeks later. Potential face to face interview this week with new company with a less intense work culture. Also, would be working with strangers -- not my friends. Because I'm starting to resent them. Away from social media and real estate agents. Because it's tiring. I hope I get it.
Edit: Didn't. I sort of turned into a human version of Kermit the Frog when I realized it was going to be four people interviewing me all at once.
So it goes.
The director knew. But because they're the hands-off 
and not the old director who everyone thought was 🤬 for micro-managing. At the same time, they are reorganizing the processes for the team so that there can be MORE CALLS and this means all of their busy work slides down the slope. OH JOY. Yes, give me your tedium and you're going to be SO SURPRISED when my productivity plummets. Then, asking for help is as good as talking to a brick wall -- because that wall is just as pitted with impact scars, cracked, and overwhelmed as you are. There's a middle ground there, folks, and that's what I need. It's felt like drowning, and because all of these services are tied into social media -- the idea of mucking around in ANY OF IT outside of work has started to make me feel ill and uneasy. (As a side effect, the 
got more quiet and would prefer to be withdrawn and in power-saving mode.)
