Kfred's Musings

Well it has been an eventful week.  The office moved while I was in Brookings for the S-L conference so everything was just a mess when we got back.  Just to shake things up, one of my coworkers is continuing to try to drag me into drama I shouldn't be involved in.  And, just to top it all off, my closest friend and supervisor is terminated...right out of left field.  So needless to say I was a bit stunned.  I had been comtemplating leaving before that but now?  I feel like I have no choice.  I know if I stay I will be unhappy.  So yesterday afternoon I called my higher ups and requested a transfer.  I have no idea where or when I will be leaving but hopefully it will be soon.  I know the longer I stay here the more likely my boss will make my life a living hell.  I am not interested in that.

The man who needs to make my move happen however is leaving for vacation on Wednesday. He'll be gone for 2 weeks.  I am hoping to be relocated so I can start the Tuesday after Columbus day.   Hopefully I will still get to have Friday off to se my darling BF who I haven't seen in months.  I am ready to have a taste of home out here!

I feel horrible about leaving because I know all the groups I was working with will be hung out to dry.  There aren't enough people in the office to pick up my work and my supervisors.  We were all stretched thin as it was.   I hope that office can figure all their drama out and get their act together.  They do some AMAZING work but they are running themselves into the ground.  It would be a shame to see them fold.
