Wahhh. A director i have worked closely with is leaving. I depended on him for certain sanity elements in my work life, and seeing him leave is... scary. There's a cohort of colleagues who came into my life who were part of the transitions that created a good place to work for me. The first one had departed a while ago, my manager has gone to another part of the company, and now this director is departing. I can tell my subconscious has tightly correlated them with better work environment and worries.
So now i get to have a new manager, and the teams i work with closely get to have a new director. My executive director was hired in March. He replaced someone who had come in spring of 2022, who went to work for another oart of the company (same place my manager disappeared to).
Yesterday was a long intense day at work as i took on documenting our huge design effort. I'd wanted to let the team design these things, but maybe it will be best if i just dictate. And there's panic by project management about how long things will take.
Today should be another long day but i have not slept well. I think the CPAP machine ran out of water and the heat simply made the air hotter. Edward snuggled up against me too -- very warm cat -- and then my mind kept focusing on how much my joints ached. My watch now measures my skin temperature when i sleep, and i can see that there was a nine degree difference between deep sleep and when i became so tossy-turny.
I am going to gamble that i don't have COVID and get my jab today. Given yesterday's long day, i won't take it as sick time.
sleep,
work
