only 8 days left

My therapist counted it up today - I have only 8 days left at that place.  Everything going on is a sign from God - the staff I'm leaving behind are some of the best and stable I've had in years..  and an office mate loves the unit cats and will take care of them for me...  I have raised them from kittens till 8 years old and I fell as if they are mine - so they have a new mommy who will make sure they are taken care of on the unit and if anything should happen she would take them in to her home!  So all the things that have kept me from leaving are now taken care of.  I had to talk with many admin staff today re: me leaving but I did not waiver in my decision.  I am ready...  8 days...  I can do this!!!

BIG STEP

I did it - after much soul searching I decided to put my 2 weeks notice in today!   I though what am I waiting for?  I know I'm gonna take it because the $ is not as important as the leaving - it was so freeing to do so!  It felt like God's plan and my husband agreed.  I know my counter offer will not be answered/ confirmed yet till Friday but I was ready since I know I'll take it anyway.  My friend Pam said if it doesn't work out in 6 months you know you can leave and you'll be okay!  and I will be...  and you know what my boss said nothing... he got it b/c when I asked the office if they got it - they did.  18+ years there for what I ask you...  Thank God for therapy tomorrow!

i am in negotiations!

Finally got the call tonight from the new facility and they made me an offer which i countered - so i will know more friday when they get back with me and my questions get answered!  Someone else does want me...  someone else does want me!  i will enjoy this moment while it lasts!

2nd interview

i have had my second interview and found out yesterday they are checking my references!!!  that has to be a good sign!!  it is scary and exciting at the same time.  I have to leave that place - i have done all i can there and there is nothing left for me.... 

still here

Haven't wrote in a while but i'm doing okay.  I'm still waiting to hear about the job i interviewed for a couple of weeks ago.  A friend called me today to tell me she heard i was the 'top contender' and i hope she's right.  But then at the same time i am scared!  So but all is right in the world for me at the moment.  No drama - the bloodsucker is still trying but i have gotten so good at dismissing her!  Had a good therapy session last week and i told my therapist i don't even recognize myself anymore i feel like i am so different.  It's a good different but certainly not familiar to me at all.  I've been the same person for 42 years so this is weird...

she's still trying

She just doesn't get it - she tried to talk again today about coffee - asked if i would sell her a cup... I've done that before with another co worker in her dept and she knows it.  She is trying to act like another co worker would I guess.  But what she doesn't get is I'm not having it!  Today When I went to lunch yesterday I shut my office door so she wouldn't get into my coffee - ha ha!  I treat her like any other co worker that I dislike - cuz I don't want her to feel discriminated against. She will probably bring that co worker down today to see if I would sell her a cup and then sell her one too - she is pitiful and I don't have time for her...  why doesn't she get her coffee from her girlfriend Sarah's office??  and leave me alone??
