Tell me about a problem you have had in your life that for years seemed insoluable until one day you got fed up and tackled it once and for all and, to your surprise, got the problem licked.
How did it feel to solve the insoluable problem?
I could use some inspiration.

Date: 2006-01-18 11:30 pm (UTC)I started out by looking for another job, but after a couple of interviews I decided I owed it to my bosses, who have always been absolutely wonderful to me, to let them know I was looking. I sat down with one (who was the managing partner) for a talk that turned into a long discussion of what was happening to me. He assured me repeatedly that he'd address the specifics with the people in question. Then at the end he asked me to please stay at least through the end of the year because...the firm was splitting up! The good people all felt the same way I did about the bad people, which was a terrific affirmation of my judgment of the situation.
I've been at this same firm for over 17 years now, and all the new hires have been good people to work with.
