So today after this meeting I ended up waiting for the elevator with the the Vice President at my job and he asks me that very question. Totally caught me off guard. We launched like four HUGE ass websites last week and its been an ordeal to say the least. I hate elevators. It’s always the forum for shenanigans. But back to the question:

Is It What You Expected?

The real answer was hell no. Matter of fact I didn’t even answer the question. I spouted off something about loving the challenge and thanked him for the support. HA! I’m totally working on being quick on my feet. Not too shabby huh?

But in retrospect its NOT what I expected. A few years ago he provided the opportunity to create a whole department and pick the staff. Pretty unprecedented. But hey everyone’s going “digital” now. I guess he was just curious as to how I felt about it all now that it’s in high gear and my role here is different and I am a Director. Sort of that whole watch what you wish for because you might get it shit.

Honestly it’s more stress and not really better just different. Ok, I’m lying it IS better. More pay, more respect and I get to tell people what to do but with that is a whole new set of drama because you have to monitor people and you know I… hate… people. I am accountable for everything and I have to dress consistently cleaner. Ok, I know the dress thing is not really a minus either.

Who cares if anything is what you expected though? Hopefully shit will be better or you’ll be surprised. Right? isn’t that what life is about?

What an odd question. Of all the things he could have asked maybe its one of those the answer doesnt matter and its all about how you respond type questions.
