Two months later

There's a wall in the middle of my office. On this wall my managers put up printed powerpoint slides about new job postings, holidays, and extra incentives. The holidays and the incentives don't really entice me to do much better. I get to work every day at least fifteen minutes early, get back from lunch about five minutes early and leave the office when we're supposed to leave. I may, occasionally, check out mentally about an hour early, but all around I'm about 95%. That's a lot more then I can say about a lot of people I work with. But, that is the real world.

So, these job postings are interesting. The main man has recently mentioned that they will be hiring six new "senior" members to do some extra things. These things include, training, monitoring, and reworking the orders we take. It would be amazing to at least have a chance at these positions after only two months at this place. Even getting an interview would be good. It would be a great opportunity. The number one job would allow me to go to California for a week to learn how to train the program I'm working on. California? Oh my! I haven't even been on a plane since I was 14!

Thinking about these things is all well and good, it's much like the jobs I applied for before landing this one; they probably require X years of experience and X years of supervisory experience, but who's to say that I can't at least let them know I want to be at that position when I'm already within the company? I'll get everything taken care of on Monday. After taking some deep breathes I'll ask that annoying girl at the HR desk if I can apply for the "Senior Sales Associate" position.
