I'm trying! See how it goes. The downside to academia is you have to apply your way up the ladder, there's no promotions or anything. So we'll see how it goes.

That is so exciting. Finally getting to leave a place that's that draining and move on, after so long and so much strife, is really kind of amazing. I did it almost a year ago now, and it was the best thing ever. Best of luck to you.

Thanks! It's ridonk how much more energy I suddenly have. I feel like I was in prison and I was just released because of awesome reasons.

I'm so glad you got to make that move, too!

I miss you <3

That's how you know it was the right decision. It's like you suddenly have the rest of yourself back. You don't really know how much you've been down-trodden and a crappy job until you suddenly have an out. Very exciting. And I miss you, too. Maybe you'll have more energy for fannish pursuits once you move jobs. Even if the commute is longer. (podcasts to listen to on the commute?) I don't really do anything that is not Sherlock or costuming any more.

Thanks! It's a great opportunity and a bunch more responsibility than I have right now. I'm really looking forward to it.

Awesome! Good for you!

I know that temptation, to say 'fuck you' and flounce out, but yeah, not the better part of valor. I do like your strategy, though. Heh.*thumbs up*

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm going to have margaritas on the last day, controlling the guest list and stuff. It'll be enough. I'm not inviting Boss From Hell so if she tags along, it will be obvious that she's the awkward gatecrasher. It's the subtle fuck you that I'm going for.
