Lately I’ve been realizing something about myself: I don’t have these grand aspirations towards power in regards to my career. Confrontation is gloriously unpleasant. I love working in an admin role. That’s what I’ve defaulted each time I’ve been laid off. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I have tried a few things, but they generally come to naught as I don’t have the massive drive such needs.
It’s delightful finally say “I’m cool with being an admin”. I’m good at this. I add value to the teams I work with. I’m great at the administrative work needed on any project.
I have no grand drive for acclamation and power. I’m quite comfortable being in the background. I like for my team to respect me and value my work.
