Moving Up at Work

Lately I have been thinking a lot about my job and how I can make the move to a promotion.  I have been in my position for about a year and a half and am ready to move on to bigger and better things.  How do you go about doing that though when your boss is more than happy to keep you right where you are?  Why do some people get awesome jobs while others remain at the bottom of the ladder?

Maybe the fact that I am asking that question at all has to do with why I haven’t been promoted.  It just seems like some people have no problem moving up while others are left behind.  I am so tired of being the one left behind.  I work hard, show up for work on time, get my job done, yet I am hardly ever noticed or acknowledged.  I don’t know why it has been on my mind so much lately, but I feel like I’m ready for something more.  I wonder if I’m the only one who feels like this.
