This story starts almost two years ago.

I was doing a job that I loved and never felt like I was even working.

I loved it so much.

It just felt it was somewhere where I was really comfortable.

I really felt that that brought out a lot of strengths that I have.

And then I was asked if I would be interested in this bigger role.

I'm an introvert, so having to stand up in a group of people was super uncomfortable for me from the start.

I had to do monthly trainings, and I just felt sick before that every time.

I remember one time having someone confront me in the cafeteria about something they didn't like, being put on the spot, and...

holding my lunch and standing there not sure what to do or how to handle it.

I thought, I am terrible at this job.

Today is actually my very last day in it.

Yeah, you know, I don't know that a lot of people will admit that they should be demoted.

But I think for me, it makes me happier and it makes me feel like I can do a better job.

And I feel smarter at what I do because I know my job so well now.

It's rolling.

Here.

So there's this giant ass trophy.
