As I alluded to a few days ago, an opportunity presented itself at work and I took it. It wasn’t easy, a lot of back and forth and two directors who fought over me really passionately, which is humbling I have to say. My current boss tried to keep me and used all of her cards at her disposal but my future new boss and myself argued persuasively to let me go and take over this position that’s opening up. It actually makes the most sense for the department and a small blip now in replacing me is worth all of the headache now instead of later.
So in a few weeks, just shy of my four month anniversary back at this university, I’m moving on to a new title, a new desk, a new boss, a new salary, a new term end date (I bought myself two more months!) and a whole new set of responsibilities.
Holy shit. At least I don’t have to move personally. But, though an officle*, I get a window :D
*office = my made up word for office + cubicle; cubicle spaces here are a good size, there aren’t very many who have them and are private for the most part (except mine currently which isn’t private at all, even with 3 walls)
