some small steps

With Ann passing another exam some of the old complaints have surfaced again. First of all she feels as though she is never truly rewarded for her efforts and I agree with her. She has never really been given that much respect from other members of our department and the company as a whole is reluctant to change things too quickly. We can continue to pass as many exams as we want but that doesn't mean that our job will change that much. The equation isn't that simple.

Naturally she is talking about leaving again which is understandable and all that I can do is listen. I too would like to leave, but I know that it takes time and right now time for me is limited. I like my life but things are subtly changing and I just want to make sure that I am heading in the right direction.

These thoughts about work clouded my thinking for a time, but I did still manage to cheer up when I went out with Her for the evening. She could tell that I wasn't my usual self, which was nice. It feels good to have someone know my moods and be concerned.
