In shock
Well, my boss, who most people don't care much for because she has no people skills, is leaving at the end of the month. That leaves me and 4 others leaderless. I have serious mixed feelings about it. She is really good at what she does and that means I am going to have to start figuring out things on my own =). But at the same time, it means that I have a shot at her job. I don't know if I will get it but I was speaking with our director today and I more or less threw my hat in the ring. So we will see.
It is all very bad timing for me though cause we are leaving for Florida on Friday for a week and then the week we get back I am in a class so I won't be in the office for her last 2 weeks here. I fear I will lose valuable time that I could be learning some things from her that would put me in a better position to take over her job but oh well. My saving grace is that this is state government and nothing happens quickly so I am sure that our director won't be even assigning a acting supervisor till next month sometime.
So wish me luck for 2 reasons. First, because we are driving to Florida with an 11 month old. Second, for me getting the job. I am nervous about it but I think I am ready for the challenge. Now they just have to offer it to me.
