Today is

It’s Monday.
It’s the first Monday with out my boss.  Except that it wasn’t totally without her.  I had to get some stuff off her hard drive that she left behind.  So there were phone calls, messages exchanged and niceties expressed.  I hate being so superficial when all I really want to do is dance around in her oh so empty office.  Oh well.
After I spent about an hour transferring files and stuff I began cleaning out the stuff she left behind.  So many files, so much junk.  I got almost all of it cleaned out.  There are a few more files to clean out tomorrow, but for the most part all traces of her are gone.
And I have a new boss.  The guy we hired not so long ago is now my new boss.  Turns out he has been pretty miserable too.  We are both relieved that she has moved on.  She was unhappy and therefore the rest of us were too.

So, new boss in place and I am waiting to see what happens.  I don’t figure there will be any changes in my job for two or three weeks.  We will see.  The new guy has expressed some ideas that sound pretty spiffy, he knows all about my frustrations and where I would like to go with my career.  I am tentatively placing some faith in him.
