Things have been a little hectic in my world lately which has given me very little time to blog. So now, while I have a little extra time, I will blog a few blogs about what has been up.
Today marks one of the last two days of my current job before I move over to my new position. This is very exciting for me because a) my new job is going to be new and challenging and so different from my current job. I have been doing the same thing for about 3 years now and am long overdo for a change. And b) I love my new boss. I have worked with her for years and so reporting to her should be a busy, ball of fun. Yeah, I know that as she is a boss I will eventually have stuff to complain about but for now I am a drift in a Utopian fog of delight.
The downside is preparing to leave my old role for my new role and a huge part of that is preparing my work to be handed off to others in my department. We got the terrible news last week that they did not get approval to replace my position due to the recession and hiring freeze. Ouch. This means that while I am happy and delighted – I am also wracked with guilt because my coworkers are about to get very over-worked, while remaining underpaid. I know, I know – I have to look out for me and my interests but since this was so unexpected I still feel guilt. But what can you do?
Yeah, try not to feel guilty. I’m sure if they had the opportunity to move into their dream position – they’d do the same.
Love “Utopian fog of delight.” Genius!
