a letter to job agencies

Okay, so this is tricksy.

I don't want to be a team leader or a technical manager or anything that might involve:

a) managing other people,
b) being an expert liaison that might mean having to sit in meetings.

There are things I know about myself and one of the key things is that programming suits me because it's a simple problem-solution situation that doesn't involve complicated systems like people. It's not that I hate people or don't understand them...it's just that I don't want to be responsible for organising them.

I'm not a team leader type.

Plus, meetings make me fall asleep. Anything managerial makes me fall asleep. I don't think I've ever come out of a meeting with any idea of what went on in there. Big picture? You've got to be kidding: I don't see the big picutre, I'm good with the bricks and the building blocks. Maybe a wall if I stand back. But the whole house or the entire project? I can't make those connections and trying to force me into that role is only going to end in tears. Most likely metaphorical ones, although I can't guarantee they wouldn't be physical at the end.

In short, I don't want to do technical team leadership or technical liaising...or, really, take on any job with responsibility.

Capische?

Unfortunately, all the jobs going out there right now are the kind that involve meetings and liaising and stuff that I am not good at.

ARGH.

Do you ever feel like people are just waiting for you to go down so they can kick you in the belly?

Tangled, SGA-style

Rodney's a chameleon, Ronon's a horse. Teyla has too much hair, and John's going to get his ass kicked if he doesn't stop laughing. Never let it be said that ileliberte doesn't bring the crack!

Psst! John! In this incarnation, she's got a FRYPAN...

I needed a good laugh today after writing 5,000 words to an SGA AU, to add to the 2,000 I wrote yesterday, and the 4,000 I wrote the day before that.

And I still don't know if I'm signed up for the challenge because the mod's gone AWOL...
