I'm starting to buy in to the idea that spending a year or two as a supervisor is a necessity to future aspirations of director of blah blah blah.

And the fact that I have come around to that is terrifying to me.

PS called the credit companies and they basically said fuck you, file a dispute, nothing we can do on the phone and nothing you can send in right now. So. Yay.

I wrote you a reply and it got lost.

Why do you find it dispiriting to believe that it may be necessary to have management experience prior to achieving a role as director of a department or organization?

Also, if you want, PM about the credit card dispute. It IS my speciality, you know.

I don't find it dispiriting! It's more an admission of what I currently want my life to plan to be and the culmination of 10 months of going back and forth on that. Acceptance and planning are terrifying, right?

OK! Because you comment read to me like you were not about it, and I was having trouble grappling with the idea of someone who wanted to be a director of an area but no supervise people first!
