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?
