Sometimes I think I'm the king of poor timing...
stock options worth tens of thousands that vested 6 months after the internet bubble burst, relationship in trouble because my 3 year plan doesn't match her 1 year plan, got the focus 3 months before 0% financing, leased the stang 1 year before the parity dollar price matching,
and now work...
Lord knows I've been trying for years to get a Team Lead position -- I get along with most people, and my technical skills are fine enough... So my last client, I ask to be released from the team because there was no leadership opportunities... and my relationship with the team was soured a little when I stepped on the toes of an incompetent, yet bubbly developer who the rest of the male staff loved....
So now, I leave the project, get a Lead Developer role, and I find out today, that this girl (she's waaaay too immature to be a woman) ends up with a Team Lead position on the project I left because of other team member's absences.
And they want to bring me back on the project because I actually know something about development of the technology...
Christ -- do I really want to take direction from the one person who's every deliverable had to be redone by myself in the past?
it's just poor timing...
