Life has been a whirlwind lately - what with DH's pending move to England, my job hopes with my dream office, not knowing what parts of our DC life to close out and what parts to hang onto - the mountains of decisions to be made felt stifling and dizzying.
One decision, however, might be out of my hands, and I'm not displeased about that. I was offered an interview for the job I applied to in February (finally). Being a resourceful type, I tried to find out who my competition was. And I think that I have identified a true competitor. If my speculation and research are in fact correct, then there's really no chance for me in the position because the other person is simply much better qualified in all respects.
And I'm okay with that. If it had been someone more marginally qualified - or not really more qualified at all! - I might have felt more slighted. But right now, I am kind of waiting for the inevitable to happen. This person will most likely be offered the position, and probably to great strategic advantage, as other changes in the office are rumored to be in the works, which might open up even better possibilities.
One decision likely taken out of my hands, and a decision I can hardly argue with. In fact, if I'm right on the person, I might think a bit less of the office if they didn't choose that person. Now there's no wondering about how to work it out with DH's relocation and my dreams... it's off to England I go in August/September without second thoughts!
Provided I'm right about everything I'm speculating about - who the person is, that they are offered and accept the job, yada yada yada.
