...and exhale....
2:58 pm today
I'm sitting at my desk, still trying to clear the mess accumulated from missing most of the morning when I think I hear something vibrating on my desk. I glance around for a moment looking for my personal cellphone (is not supposed to be on at all...so it's on Silent. Yea, I'm bad), and after finding it hiding behind a pile of folders, I slide it open to see that I've missed 3 calls in the last 5 minutes. All are from his work number.
Oh oh.
I check to make sure no-one is standing over me, and call him back. We exchange hellos, he gives me the news...
A long feared job change was utterly, completely and officially stopped today. Something that started back last August is no longer happening.
I have to ask him twice to make sure I understood what he said. Then I let out a breath that I believe I may have been holding since some time last summer.
I smile, and tell him thanks, and promise to call him back when I'm heading home. I end the call, place my phone on the desk, and throw my arms up in victory.
This fight is done.
Grinning wildly, and breathing freely for the first time in what feels like forever, I go back to work...
