Once again again I got passed over for a promotion!! I am so consistent!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, this sucks. I'm at my wit's end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I even got passed over when it came time to pick my floor's representative for the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day! I've done it 4 out of the last 5 years and gotten nothing but positive feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's wonderful to have a place, as it were, to air my complaints.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37595968-8745113680753812642?l=lorenzosblog.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lorenzosblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8745113680753812642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37595968&amp;postID=8745113680753812642&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37595968/posts/default/8745113680753812642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37595968/posts/default/8745113680753812642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lorenzosblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/hey-guess-what-once-again-again-i-got.html' title=''/><author><name>Lorenzo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16511311464695783611</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02269065431864815214'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37595968.post-8782999638587835959</id><published>2008-03-24T11:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-24T11:45:26.131-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Well, it happened again: I've been passed over for yet another promotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I know everyone likes to say they work hard and deserve to be promoted but it is actually true where I'm concerned. I get compliments from management all the time; I receive cash awards every year; I even performed the job that I applied for on a temporary basis and received high praise for my performance. I got a "5" on my last appraisal (for those of you unaware of where I work, rest assured a "5" is very hard to get. I mean our appraisal system consists of "1" thru "3" and "5"...no "4"...so "5" is pretty, you know, special, or so I thought).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm now caught in a "depression-anger loop".  First comes depression, followed by anger, followed in turn by more depression and so on, ad nauseum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...lunchtime is over and I must return to work. Until next time...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37595968-8782999638587835959?l=lorenzosblog.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lorenzosblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8782999638587835959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37595968&amp;postID=8782999638587835959&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37595968/posts/default/8782999638587835959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37595968/posts/default/8782999638587835959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lorenzosblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/well-it-happened-again-ive-been-passed.html' title=''/><author><name>Lorenzo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16511311464695783611</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02269065431864815214'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37595968.post-2956652155714077103</id><published>2007-09-10T16:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-10T16:54:19.323-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Well, I have a blog.
