Sophia, I did a similar thing when I transfered to my current position, and even though I have some mixed feelings, there is no question that it was ultimately the right move. (I miss the amount of money I was making before, and stepping down a level is a big difference in how people treat you at this company, but OTOH I no longer spend 2 hours a day crying while sitting in traffic in NJ, and since this role is so much less stressful I have the mental energy I need to focus on school.)
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sounds like a good move for you, Sophia.

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.
Ryan makes me happy.
Gud, that cabinet is excellent.

Very nice, Gud!
Sophia, you'll be spending 1/3 of your life, five out of seven days a week for the next several years, doing something. If that something can be an activity you actually like, I think you should go for it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks guys. I am pretty sure of my decision, but I needed to hear feedback. I know I dont care about the money-- I would have been perfectly content doing my same job until retirement. I only started looking when there were rumblings of "a person at your level can't make decisions at this other level"and I knew my job would not be my job any more.

Timelies all!

I have sides now. The one that will be hinged is clamped on for the time being.

Most of the arcade cabinet is storage space filled with office supplies.
It really sounds like you are making the right decision Sophia.
I hope Mr. S gives in soon.

Or rather, looking at the timestamps, gave in soon.

I saw my sister-in-law at the grocery store today, she's the customer service manager. One of her people was organizing a display nearby and horsing around a little, making her roll her eyes. As I left her to continue shopping, I said, "Have a good day, beat somebody up." I heard her walk to her worker and say "My sister-in-law says I get to beat somebody up. I choose you." He laughed, so I wasn't too worried. It tickles me to be claimed as family in a conversation that I have no part in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, Gud -- that's incredible!
And you're definitely doing the right thing, Sophia. The people who went to bat for you did it because they care about you (professionally, at least!) and want to see you in the right role.
