Climbing, but how fast?

Driving around Nashville provides it's problems. I've never lived in a city where 9 out of ten times while driving around, I will see a wreck. Maybe I won't actually see it happen, but I will see it. It is true that this isn't exactly Atlanta, where cars are manufactured all twisted together so as to face the inevitable. This is just a larger city. But in all honesty, I never remembered Greensboro, NC, which is almost the size of Nashville, to be this crazy with traffic. I don't know... I'll get over it just as long as I stay out of accidents.

I had a review with my boss today. He can be very intense at times and I had a hard time figuring out if he was trying to point things at me in particular, or if he was just making a point in general. He was cursing and speaking forcibly and condescendingly about things that are wrong with the install crew. I wasn't exactly comfortable, but I was hearing what he had to say and thinking back through my memory to see if I had violated any of the TI Commandments. I told him where my goals lied and what I was going to do, roughly, to get there. I have ambition, and when I see something that I want, I will have it. I told him that I am quite content where I am because I'm learning the basics. I also told him that my education has prepared me for something a little higher than where I currently am, but by being here I am building an important foundation and gaining lots of valuable experience. All of this is true. Finally I asked him what he had heard about me on the field, and he said he's heard nothing but good things. That means I must be doing a good job. I'm going to work harder though, just because I know I can be the best out there if I focus. I'm not trying to beat anyone out, but this is the standard I hold myself to. I feel compelled always to be rising to the top.

Peace and love.
