    So.... just found out about 2 hours ago that I got a promotion at work. So that's something I guess. I actually turned a promotion a few times already. The first time was back in March, from the people I work with I was guaranteed to get it. But it would have meant driving just over twice the distance I do now. So I didn't go for it.

    The second time, I did go for but decided that it would have better for me to stay at the location I'm at. Better long term opportunities there. The last one, same thing. It would have been a bit closer to home, but over the long term possibilities and long term benefits are better where I'm at.

    So... yeah.. three promotions turned down to end up in a better position (same promotion) 4 months, 6 months, and 8 months in.

    because he's not a man-child I imagine. Granted a lot of people who don't get promoted spend money on hookers & blow so maybe I'm missing out on the finer points of life, I don't know.
