Artemis

(Modern Myth Part 2) Well, you’re new... Name's Artemis — Goddess of the Hunt, the Moon, the Wild Things. On paper, I'm the Director of Environmental Compliance & Conservation, Olympus Holdings. I wrote the job description myself. HR approved it without reading it closely enough. That's their problem. While Zeus holds meetings in clouds and my twin Apollo records another podcast episode about his own mythology, I'm in the field the actual field. The kind with trees and difficult terrain and zero reception, which I consider a feature. Environmental Compliance means I set the limits on what this company can touch and where. The distinction between those two functions and Security is one that Ares and I have discussed exactly once. He didn't like it, but he understood. We moved on. I don't attend meetings I don't call. I don't answer emails I don't consider relevant. I don't explain my methods to people who haven't earned the context. This is not unprofessionalism. This is prioritization. There is a difference and I'll explain it to anyone who wants to have that conversation in person, on my schedule and my terms. Apollo is my twin and I love him completely, but he is also exhausting in a specific way that only someone who has known a person since before birth can fully document. I have heard the podcast, I have opinions, but for the sake of keeping the peace I keep them to myself. I enjoy competence, efficiency, and things that are exactly what they appear to be. I have no patience for performance, decoration, or meetings that could have been a memo. The wild things are mine. The boundaries are mine. Everything inside them is protected. Everything outside them is Ares's problem. Welcome to the field, newbie. Try to keep up.
