Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just had an argument of sorts with my old manager about me pushing work off on other people. I asked her what the difference was supposed to be if I still did my old job, other than having to do even more with the new job. I absolutely do have to stop doing some stuff, and assuming it was important, yeah, someone else will have to do it.
*My* current boss told me I'm not doing deployments anymore. If the old manager knows I am, well that's a broader conversation than just this email exchange.

I've just been told "remember everyone else is busy..."
Well, maybe you shouldn't have cut your staff, huh? I didn't ask to leave, you told me I was going.

One manager in my hierarchy was asking for help with some proposal efforts, which would be a great learning opportunity for me. I said I'd help but couldn't lead the effort. Then my direct manager sent out a request for us to list what projects we are working on now and what our expected time committments are for the next 6 months. Not including that proposal effort, I'm already over 100% committed. Eeeeep.

I am so pissed right now I could burst into tears by mistake. Which means I need to take deep cleansing breaths, maybe take a walk (or two) around the block...but I've gone to my new manager and told him that my old job won't let go, and asked one of the old managers if his expectation of my new job is that I keep doing my old one too.
I don't really care if this gets ugly, since I feel it is ugly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy, ita. If it has to get ugly, it has to get ugly -- you can't do two jobs!

And stress leads to tension and tension leads to headaches and headaches lead to sick time, AND AND AND. That cycle ain't nothing but vicious.

Ugh ita, good for you for being proactive here and not letting the old boss load up too much work onto your back. But yeah, sounds like it might get ugly.
