Unknown fate of the Husky
Okay, I might be jumping the gun a little bit here, but it's definitely something that has me a little on edge about what might be happening to me at work.
I walked up to the front desk area today to make small talk and get some other work done. In the midst of all that, one of the dispatchers that I used to work with was on the phone for quite some time with someone seemingly important. Well, it turns out that the applied for a new position at Headquarters, and got it. So depending on how quick they want the transfer to happen, it could be as early as next week or as far off as 30 days from now. Either way, she will be leaving dispatch and moving on to bigger and better things.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't hold grudges and I'm genuinely happy for her that she's moving away from the complaint desk. But that also means certain fate for me, and here's why:
The Lieutenant that pushed to get me into the position that I'm at now is actually being transferred out tomorrow, and is being replaced. With the person at the desk leaving, that's going to mean that there's going to be a shortage at the front desk two days out of the week. The solution to this problem: Putting me back at the desk.
You can imagine how much my stomach sank once I figured that I might be called back to work up there on a normal basis. Right now, I do it once every other week to cover behind people that may be out for various reasons... but that is just part of my agreement of working back in the admin offices. So I really don't know what's going to happen to me. I REALLY don't want to go back up to answering phones. I've been less stressed, more happy, and actually healther since I made the move back here. And if I lose that now... I really don't know how I'm going to react to it...
We'll find out next week what's going to happen...
