lumy12I can't believe I forgot to mention a major happening here at work last week.
My boss gave 2 months' notice, he decided to go into business for himself as a consultant. With his vast knowledge of accounting and computer systems, I'm sure he'll do quite well with that. He was "too cool" to be a supervisor anyway... well, the 2 months turned into 2 weeks as he got an offer he couldn't refuse. Couple that with him being very disgruntled here and it was a no-brainer, he left 'em pretty much high and dry. I won't comment on my opinions on that here though (maybe another time).
So I have a new boss. Yeah - remember my entry from about a month ago called "You're Fired!" - ? It's her. A natural progression, as she was already heading up the accounting side (she now takes on IT and payroll), but I'm afraid of what's in store for the department now... she is not very well-liked. I get along with everyone, so of course I get along with her - and we've had some pretty good conversations about UN-work-related stuff in the past. I also have a hard time judging people on what others say about them. As long as she's good to me, I'll have no problem with her. Firings and all. But am I on my toes? Sure.
Right now she's so overwhelmed she wouldn't have time to "yell" at me if she even wanted to. I am a pretty good employee, too - I come in early and stay late when needed, I get my job done on time and accurately, I'm not very high-maintenance. So it's not like she'd have much reason to yell. I miss my old boss already though. *sigh* I hate that things have to change. Why can't I get used to the fact that the only constant in life IS change?

Date: 2005-03-04 01:23 am (UTC)It does suck to lose people at work, but it happens. Of the three peeps I used to lunch with at my work on my other shift, only one girl is left, as a guy just quit this week, apparently. We didn't know for sure, but his timecard is gone, and I heard from him last week that he had a potential replacement job in the works, so he must've gotten that and said screw this, I'm just a TE, so no notice, I'm gone.
I'm only two months away from my first year completed there - time is flying.

(they didn't show a preview for ER last week, so I assume it wasn't new this week. Let me know if I'm wrong.)

Date: 2005-03-04 07:03 am (UTC)I definitely have a tougher skin now when it comes to work people leaving. Ten years ago it was highly upsetting to me when friends left. And I was always so desperate to stay in touch. I still have some of that in me, but not nearly as bad! And back then of course my main job was the theatre so talk about high turnover rate.
It still makes me sad to think of people I used to care about dropping off the planet - or at least from Wendy's little world - but I don't dwell. Better to concentrate on those who ARE here, and make only as much effort to keep in touch as the other person does.
I gotta get to work now, you anti-birthday Stad, you....
