Taking a time out to catch up

[literaryelle]

The last few months have flown by and it seems like I've hardly had a chance to take a breath.  Basically since my last post things at work got very strained and then even weirder.  Between January and February things got tenser at work, until one day my manager started a conversation which included a statement that since I was having difficulty finding a new job, she'd be happy to give me a list of head hunters.  At the time this felt like a barely veiled threat against my job.  I ended up talking to the Director of Human Resources about the issues I was having with the manager.  Shortly after that to everyone's surprise she announces that she's suddenly decided to resign her position. Her last day was Thursday, so for the last month I've been trying to support her as she prepped to leave and assisting the woman who is replacing her in getting settled.  The good news is my job is secure, my evaluation was okay and I work a lot better with the new boss.  Already this change is reducing my stress and writer's block.

The other exciting but more recent change was I upgraded my phone, since Verizon was doing the blackberry buy one, get one free deal I bought blackberry storm's for my brother and I.  Its a big change from my old phone, but there are some pluses I'm looking forward too.  I'm trying to get better connected so I've started a twitter account in the hope I can update LJ more often.  If anyone has any suggestions or tips I'd be grateful for the help.  Switching from a regular phone to a blackberry is a bigger change than I bargained for.

talk to you soon!
