All hail the mighty inertia.
Good luck dealing with change! Change is hard, even when you are so ready for change that you want to kick off your old shoes and run to the door.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

msbelle, how frustrating.
Go Jess!!!
I like change, once I'm in it. Anticipation of change is the part that freezes me. If I know it is coming down the road but there is nothing I can do in the meantime...eeeep. Give me something to research, plan, prep and I'm ok. Next month x is happening and you just need to wait until then is NOT COOL.

All the people at the new place think I'm really smart
The people are right. They know they're lucky to get you.

Go, Jess!
Reason #158 why it's time to leave this boss:
She uses a list she calls "New staff training." The first part is mostly verifying that a number of onboarding activities have been completed, nothing to do with training. These activities are on our onboarding checklist provided by HR, most of which our HR person is responsible for, and me for the things that are department specific. So, mainly, the boss is checking up on us because god knows we don't know how to do our jobs. ::insert eye roll here:: Then, when she said her training list was written specifically for new student services coordinators, I said she should put that on the form because the file calls it a template. If it's a generic template, it shouldn't be reflecting a specific position. So when I went back to the file on our shares drive, the file name was still generic but in the title at the top of the page she added the position title in italics and underlined. Ooooh, I guess she told me.
Yeah, I've already got another job I'm looking at.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, Jessica! Do the thing that scares you!

I may have to seize the cat.
Is it a scientific law that as soon as you find out a deadline is tighter than you'd like, you just don't have the energy/bandwidth to deal with working on the thing? Because this is happening to me right now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It was a week ago today that I mentioned giving up the daily Dunkin in order to save money for karate. I just ran the numbers and for what I would have bought for myself, not counting anything for Mac on the mornings we went early enough for him to get also, I have saved $57. I am giving myself Sundays as a treat to look forward to. I also brought lunch in 3 of the 5 work days since then. I am giving myself a budget gold star.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It is a natural law, not unlike Murphy's.
