. . . . I'm a federal employee again! Yes, I got that job with the agency I just interviewed with last Friday. My soon-to-be boss is a no-nonsense, "do it" hands-off manager - I'm talking pure heaven here. It's a great job - working for the federal agency that administers the trust moneys and lands set aside for American Indians. No, really, it's a cool job. It's so damned cool! I'm flying. I won't be able to start for a month, so I'm not giving notice at my current (been there 50 days) job for a couple of weeks. I feel kinda bad that I'm leaving after such a short time, but it's dog-eat-dog out there. No, I don't really mean that. It's just that I had no way to assess the management style and interpersonal dynamic of the office prior to joining it, so as I have come to realize it just isn't a place where I can thrive, I thank God the federal job came trotting along. Totally serendipitous.
Just shocking to think I'll be starting another job, but I sure do have practice now! Pee in a cup? With my hands tied behind my back. Sit through a presentation on benefits? No sweat.
And so on.
I promise, this is it. No more interviews, no more choices to make. I'm stickin'.
And if I don't, sue me.

WOOHOO!! Good for you! You Go Boy!
Now I'm tellin' ya give Micro-Boss your notice with no guilt. You gotta take care of yourself.
Yayyy!
Ha!!! What a roller coaster. I'm psyched that you recognized the bad-ness of your current situation and decided to get out.
Congrats!!!
You were so smart to move on, rather than sticking it out. Life is too damn short to wait for other people to change. GOOD FOR YOU, STEVIE!
LOVE the conviction! YAY! Get it, Stevie!!!!!
You know, my dear Sheila and Alex and Beth and Jackie, in the olden days I would've hung on, persuading myself that it would get better, but now I'm like, "Screw it - I see disaster looming and I'm not sacrificing my future to avoid ruffling some feathers. I'm first in line for the good stuff, damn it!"
Kinda shocking, really! And I owe it all to my amazing cyberfriends :) Love you all!!
