This and That

Hubby shaved off his beard last night.  It’s really weird to see him.  He looks so different.

Kickball has been fun.  Though we’ve lost all our games so far, this team has to be the best I’ve ever been on.  There are plenty of people who want to play AND we’re losing by less each time.  We actually got 2 runs this last week!

Parade classes start in 2 weeks.  Yay!

I’m on the hunt for a new job again.  This time I have a definite plan for where I’d like to go and what I’d like to do.  This is an entirely different place from anywhere I’ve ever been.  Usually I just let life take me a long, but this time I know what I want to do.  Now it’s just a matter of getting out of the current position and moving into something new.

With the decision to change comes a dilemma.  Do I tell my boss that I want a change before I put the transfer request in front of him?  Part of me thinks it would be fair for me to do this.  But a big part of me doesn’t want to face what ever flack he might give me until I am fully prepared for it.  I have a good feeling that he and the other managers would attempt to keep me on the team, taking over someone else’s position.  Specifically Tiny’s position.  And I know there is a ton of clean up involved with that spot.  Tiny is not good at what he’s doing.  To be fair it is not something he wanted to do or has ever been trained to do.  It’s just what he’s ended up doing.  The fact remains, I don’t want it.  I want something else. 

If I don’t tell my manager this will come as a huge surprise to him.  He thinks that I am happily going down the path he has set out for me.  He really has no clue that I face the future he has set out for me with a kind of deep seated dread that I haven’t felt since I took a Learn to Row class.  I was miserable on a level that I couldn’t even recognize. 

Aurgh.  I’ve got time to decide, since there are no offers on the table yet.  But the decision will have to be made soon or it will be made for me…
