Maybe I should be in piecing part 7?

Well Pup, I'm not sure how to answer that question.

When I took the job that required all the travel, we (myself and the company both) didn't realize there would be so much travel. Just had some things happen that fell within my responsibilities that required me to be away about 3 weeks a month. I was home on weekends, but during the week I was gone a lot.

Then the MN thing. Yes, W and I discussed it. Discussed it with S20 also knowing it would take me away while he went to college the first time. It was a good opportunity and I made A LOT of money (enough to pay for S20's first year of school in those 8 weeks). When there I was working 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week. The other thing that probably went into W being ok with it was her old boss was the one that tapped me to go. W is good friends with her old boss (red flag I know) and she has grown up in our company so she understands that sometimes I/we had to make sacrifices for me to move up. This was one of those things. It got my name out to A LOT of higher ups. The old boss was a big help in that regard.

So......did W say ok because she knew what it could do for my career and really wasn't ok with me being gone that long? Was she ok in the beginning and once I was gone realized she didn't like it? Thing is, when I got back, I immediately had to go back out of town for my old job for most of 2 weeks and then one week later I got this job and was in my new location for 5 weeks before she and S16 moved over. She was ok with the transfer, in fact, really supported it, but I really think during the almost 2 years before the transfer, we disconnected and along comes OM and it's on.

So....did we discuss these promotions? Yes. Did she agree? Yes. Did she know what they entailed? Maybe yes, maybe no.

I just found the comment interesting.
