Accomplishments:
- Was tapped on the shoulder at work for a promotion. The position is essentially my dream job for this stage of my career. Having spent the last year and a half in what was essentially a stretch position for me, I am extremely happy that my work and conduct warranted me being asked to interview.

I respect the fact that you stand up for what you believe in, but if you continue to be so contumacious, it's not going to get you anywhere. From your post about your behaviour at school, it's become pretty clear to me how you conduct yourself. |
I'm well aware of that. I know perfectly well I ed up in this case. As I was doing it I was saying to myself "Typing this will get you fired", but I did it anyway, even though there was no need to. The situation was complex, and I don't really want to air it in public, especially as it would be unfair on the other side of the story.

This is less of a case of thinking I'm smarter than someone and more my fundamental inability to compromise. It's by far my largest character flaw, and perversely a point of bizarre pride. It's the reason I haven't got a job, it's the reason I'm almost never in a relationship, it's the reason I'm weighing up whether there's any point in continuing with music journalism. I cannot bring myself to lie, to tell interviewers I'm enthusiastic about something I'm not, to tell someone I'm interested in something I'm not, to tolerate an editorial policy I think is wrong. I would feel like a traitor to myself. It's also probably responsible for my unsympathetic style of debate.
I'm fully aware that being a functioning member of adult society requires selling your soul for the benefits, but at this point I can't do it. |

He has his eye on the Maytag man's job. Once he gets it he'll be on easy street for the rest of his life. But bored out of his mind.
