Arg. My post was eaten by the interweb. Basically I said that that stinks, and I can see how that can be a blow to your confidence both as an employee and as a person in your sitch. But what I can say is that there are a ton of men on this board that wish their W's had the character you're showing here. And many employers and men out there will see your value, maybe even your H someday. What's most important is that you see it. Here's a cheesy poem that I really like. Keep making decisions YOU'RE proud of and it will work out.
When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest For he’s with you, clear to the end And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
