To Heaven with Love
Aug. 28th, 2016 05:18 pmThe job ads for my replacements are now live. That's ads and replacements plural. My 0.8 FTE position is being replaced with two positions totalling 1.6 FTE. Which... on the one hand, it is nice to feel so special that it takes two people to replace me. On the other hand, maybe, just perhaps, just maybe, that might be the problem in the first place.
On Thursday, I went to my penultimate board meeting. One of the board members, Doctor F, caught me before the meeting, very excited. "What's the goss? Have you been head-hunted? Or is it a WEDDING?" I think he might be That Relative at his family's Christmas dinner. He was slightly deflated when I said, "No, it's just time for a change." Only slightly deflated, though. In the next breath he told me about the conference he's going to in Barcelona. (My boss told me that when he told Doctor F that his brother was dying of mesothelioma, Doctor F said, "Oh, dead in a year." Cheers, Doctor F.)
( Friday )
Also this week: Knitting! ( So much knitting! )
