Job not mine...

Well, as I suspected, they offered the job to someone else. It was still a shock to hear it though, and it confirms that I have climbed as high as they will let me in this institution. And you know what? That's OK. Didn't stop me from bursting into tears, but I had wound myself up into such a knot today that I had no other way to react. And in fact by crying, I showed quite clearly why I shouldn't be a supervisor. But I still have a job, and the person I am going to be working with is someone with whom I get along very well, so that much will be easy to deal with. Now I am going to wander off from the area until the red in my eyes goes away...
