Okay, so I've just come off of possibly the worst couple of weeks of my work life, to the point that I am really questioning how long I can do this role as currently constituted, and had a call scheduled with my outgoing boss this morning to kind of lay it on the line.
Which meeting was cancelled. But incoming boss reached out to me and ran through some changes she plans to put in and, man. If I can just survive the fallout from the past few weeks and she gets her plans underway, a lot of what is killing me gets better. I really, really hope this happens, and fast.
It'll be really hard, taking on a lot more and probably having to build up a new team (she has a new role in my for my A#1 team member, which he deserves), but should really make a big difference in my work life.
That would be great, brenda. I hope it pans out. And quickly.
I hope getting through the hard transition to the better times is not too bad, brenda! That sounds pretty positive over all.
Fingers crossed for you Brenda.
I can't tell you how relieved I am. There's a lot between here and there, but I know she's already socialized it with a lot of senior leadership so it sounds like she has traction. It'll be very different, but I'm really needing that now.
Always nice when there is, in fact, light at the end of the tunnel.
We are apparently changing Managing Directors with the new year. I do not know what to think about that. It probably won't make much of an immediate impact on my day-to-day, I suppose.
It was actually a kind of shitty murder, too (I mean, not to imply there are good murders, but. The victim was a firefighter, and he was found tied up in a park, shot, and robbed of a watch and wallet. So it wasn't a "bad guys dealing drugs shooting each other" kind of murder, as far as I can judge from one newspaper article.)
No wonder there was a picture! Yikes.
Good luck, brenda!
You guys, my aunts got two new cats and named them the Doctor and River.
Aw, cute!
Cats, not murder, if anyone is not sure.
Facebook is killing me today with people going way too far (IMO) in their support of the NYPD.
I did laundry, and went to TJ's and the liquor store and I don't feel like doing anything else, so I'm doing my nails. It's a legit to-do item! I'm bummed I forgot croissants at TJ's since I was hoping to have them for birthday breakfast, but whatevs.
