@Sweets: *patpat*<br/>That's why I asked/tried to get you talking about it. I thought it would be helpful for you to put everything here, with no judgement or ties to your job whatsoever. You seemed pretty stressed, I know it helps me to be able to just.. vent. Glad we were able to help!<br/><br/>Also, that sounds awesome that you'll eventually be above that "lead." One thing I definitely learned is that it's super easy to look stellar when compared to people who put forth little to no effort toward anything. All you have to do is do your work and people think you're golden. Lol. I had gotten a LOT of backlash (by lazy people) while I was in the military to the point that these girls started spreading rumors about to me to try and bring my reputation down. But, in reality, all I did was the shit I was supposed to do and maybe a little extra out of boredom. But compared to those people who didn't do anything at all, I was golden: literally nicknamed "the golden child" by said hateful/revengeful people for a while but I took pride in it. *Shrugs* Hang in there, it'll pay off in a god way.
