Current Mood: Overwhelmed
Current Music: Nothing

This has been an overwhelming morning so far. I had a meeting with my boss first thing to discuss the future. The scariest part I think was when she said I’d be moving under a new superviser. But then she went on to say she’d still be around on the business side and she’d still be a friend if I ever just needed someone to talk to.

After we met I went up to meet the guy that’s going to be my new supervisor as of January 1st. He seems like a really nice guy. He’s not looking to change much. He said he’d already heard a lot of really good things about me, that I’m organized, good at self-managing, a self-starter. He said my knowledge of Robohelp, CMS, was great and he was really happy that I knew HTML too. Looking forward, he said, I’m exactly the kind of person he’d want to work with.

We also discovered my new supervisor lives pretty much just down the street from me. He asked where I lived and was surprised when I started telling him. Since he knew the area so well I went on to describe the house and his face lit up. He said he drives by there every day. lol

This is a lot to take in right now, getting this huge change kind of tossed in my lap first thing in the morning. I think all in all it’ll be a good move. The words “new supervisor” kind of terrified me. I’m always afraid I’m going to end up with some jerk or something. But this guy seems okay. I’m grateful that I still have a job and that I’ve received such a positive recommendation from my boss. The new supervisor said my supervisor had nothing but nice things to say. All in all it makes me feel better about my position. Of course all of this would happen just as I’m starting to look forward at a huge career change. My career change won’t be for another several years though so no big deal really. I could potentially end up working here for another ten years or so since I’m going to school part time for as long as I can.

For now, there’s work to be done.
