Holy snap!  I just quit my senior management position in school today, and it feels so good.  My position was director of technology, and I just didn't have my heart in it.  The biggest problem for me was my lack of knowledge on the fact I was being graded, and naturally, it fell rather low on my list of priorities.  My assumption was that it was a voluntary position (which it might actually be, and I dun goof'd by quitting).

Above that, I didn't mesh well with the rest of senior management :(  Don't get me wrong; The other managers are very nice.  I just couldn't stand the "professional" atmosphere, and the silences that sets in during meetings.  The whole charade just felt somewhat plastic and stiff.  It just felt wrong, because I'm a very animated person - like a theatre kid.  It was a challenge for me to sit down and listen to talk about deadlines, numbers and goals.

As if the business-y aspect, certain people had to ask silly questions.

I was away from school for a day due to sickness, and this just happened to be a day of a meeting.  For obvious reasons, I wasn't there, leading certain members to question my absense.  Instead of being logical, and assuming I was skipping school, they ask my friend:

"Does she hate us?"

It wasn't just one person who interrogated my friend, it was a handful.  I still find it offensive that they went on a tangent and assumed that opinion rather than approaching me.

Great job, Tam.  Excellent stimulation of a real life situation - You don't always work with the people you want.
