Congrats to me
At last, my long-awaited promotion to Senior Economic Development Specialist has come. Appointment papers were signed yesterday. I had weathered the Commission on Elections' (COMELEC) hiring ban, the Administration's re-activation of Lateral Attrition (per Administrative Order 103, "Directing the Continued Adoption of Austerity Measures in the Government"), and whatever else was in the way (my planned transfer? -- Another long wait perhaps?). Oh, and much emotional stress.
At long last.
At long last.
