Seeing as no one reads this, I'm going to be (slightly) blunt. There is a manager at my workplace that we have had a lot of problems with as of recent. I honestly don't know if I have even seen them in the past week. About 2 weeks ago he/she (keeping it neutral-ish) got caught lying to the general manager about taking a trip when this person said they needed to stay home to take care of their children. Our scheduling is constantly wrong. Our requests are not even read, and if so, possibly ignored. Micromanaging is rampant (when said manager is there).
So, after all this, I heard rumor about a week ago that this person was leaving our workplace. My heart skipped a beat. Not because I "hate" this person or wish ill on them. But rather, this would be an opportunity for me. Now, I know I've said for quite some time that I want to get out of here and move on to "better things." But thinking about it (and experiencing a few rejections later), I'm beginning to think it's not such a bad idea. Maybe I should stick around here and get my feet wet as an administrator. I don't think it would be bad waiting another year or two before heading out.
Now, when telling people this, I've gotten some mixed reactions. There are some that are vehemently against it and say I am just being scared to move forward. On the other hand, I've got others who commend my thoughtfulness and caution, especially in this economy. Lubbock is a very stable place. A great place to start out. Why not? ...well, because it's LUBBOCK. I've been here for five years. This is the second longest I've ever lived in one place (out of seven). So, I'm getting a bit antsy. I feel like it's my time to move, but caution is admittedly holding me back.
Anyone who really knows me knows about my "strengths," one of which is STRATEGIC. I like planning things out. I like knowing what is going to happen. Right now, I am flipping my lid not knowing what is happening.
My lease is up at the end of July and I don't have a new job. I have THREE WEEKS. This is nuts.
