a couple weeks ago, i was up for selection for a promotion at my job. i have been preparing for the promotion for the past couple of months. the days leading up to the promotion board were very high strung and i was very anxious.
it is okay! i think you are right. even thought the results were less than ideal, it will fuel my determination to try and get it next year!
omg, i am so sorry. i just realized my eyes focused on promotion results. i think there is a silver lining in every situation
