Tuesday morning tea and deep contemplation of life's next steps. Zuchinni and cucumber sit on the kitchen counter awaiting attention and transformation into delectable meals. The cats wonder from window to window catching the scents of dawn. I drink my second cup of jasmine tea and lament that my latest job did not work out. I long to work on many of the tasks I had underway there, but am no longer connected to them. A severing made most abrupt when my notice to leave due to persistent communication and culture issues was met with 'fine, don't come back,' which was a cut off the nose to spite the face sort of move.
Yesterday I was able to look forward - today I wonder what could have gone differently. No point in pondering the past in that way. Rather - what have I learned and how can I grow?
1. I learned that a work environment where collaborative culture is valued is essential to me.
2. I learned that I need not let other's lack of acknowledgement breed doubt.
3. I learned that I am in fact very able at what I do, and was accruing much success seen from the board and public's vantage point, though not recognized internally. And that as such I can create work for myself that has meaning.
4. I learned that equal status and respect is a matter of action not words; that what colleagues and supervisors do and how they interact with each other and myself is more significant than any words they espew.
