Fate Forced my Hand

Right.  So I have been dreading telling my manager that I am looking for another job.  Dreading to the point that I haven’t told him. 
Until this morning.  This morning I opened my email to see the magic form that has to be signed by my manager before I can start interviewing for a new position. 
There is was.  Waiting. 
Internally I freaked out.  My stomach started churning, I felt flush, sick and excited at the same time.  Excited because – yay an interview!  Sick because now I had no choice but to tell my manager that I am no longer willing or wanting to work for him. 
It went okay.  He was shocked, a little confused and kind of sad.  But underneath all of that was instant relief.  At least I am pretty sure that was what I saw in his eyes. 
Now I’m just waiting for the recruiter to set something up between the hiring manager and me.  Soon, soon I will be on a new adventure!
