to resign or not to resign?

petiks mode in the office today. we don't have AZ classes because the Korean kids are celebrating Children's Day today.

what's a much better way to spend the minutes away aside from blogging and surfing the net? wala di ba? *wink*

my TL and i just had a one-on-one talk earlier as part of the bi-monthly performance evaluation for instructors.however, this one went a little way different than the previous evaluations that we had.we actually discussed about the issue of "resignation", which she has been hearing lately.she wanted to ask me why would i like to resign. i gave her an honest to goodness answer to her question.i told her, i feel bored at work already and would like to pursue a career closer to the education that i gained in the university.

and then, she was quick to add something like this, "ok, well that's an ideal reason to cite, now tell me, what's the real reson yna?"to that, i responded, it's the only real reason that i have. i'm aching for professional and career growth, i wanted to do something more challenging.and that, whatever problems that i may have with the company's management/policies/people are all secondary.

she then added, "uh well the company has plans for expansion, would you consider staying if the company offers you a supervisory/higher position?"i told her, i cannot say yes or no yet. of course, i will have to consider all the circumstances. at this moment, what i want is a really thriving career. a little bit more substantial than what i am doing right now. it's not just a matter of earning that counts now. there's an urging to find growth, and it's sad that i cannot find it here.

my TL is not actually that bad. she's probably one of the most precious gems of the company and i believe she is sincere in all her interactions with us.and it pains me to think that i will have to make a decision that would actually cause a heartache for her.although my resignation is really inevitable, she pleaded that i don't resign just yet. she will try to make work for me here more interesting.whatever that means, let's just wait and see. i hope it will really be interesting.

ah well, the only one sure thing right now is that i will resign. i am just not sure when.
