Bizarre Day
Today has been quite bizarre, not only have I been very busy and had to wait around for people not to turn up for meetings or to look at quoting to do some cabling for us but I have just been posting the advert for my replacement on a few newsgroups / mailing lists.
This is the second time in 8 months I have done this now ... but at least this time it is for a good reason. I am moving upwards and not outwards ... something that I wish my body was doing now I come to think about it. I am moving onto the long term things in the school and joining the Leadership Team, and so we need a new Network Manager.
I feel as if I still haven't even settled into the job and I am moving on to other things ... I am not sure whether to be excited or upset about it all. I know that whoever replaces me will have their own ideas and ways of running things, and although I will be the Boss they are still the network manager and I can understand the importance of letting them run the team and keep things running smoothly.
I keep telling myself I am doing the right thing but sometimes I am not sure ... this is now a completely different ball game, and one that I am new to in too many ways to mention. But I do have the support of the team, and of the rest of Management too ... in fact everyone seems to think it is a fantastic move ... I just wish I had their faith.
At least it will be half-term soon and I can concentrate on clearing out a few jobs before I have to call a day on some projects and leave them to other people.
You've just gotta love school holidays ... those halcyon days without interruption from students or staff :-)
