divine angst

While heating up my breakfast this morning in our break room (raisin and spice oatmeal, yum), I ran into our director, my boss’s boss’s boss, and he stopped me to talk about my future plans.

Yep, it’s out. I knew it was going to be coming out since the BMOCs are talking budget right now, but I wasn’t sure how high the news had gone. Apparently, it’s gone as high as it can.

Anway, he was very nice about, asking me all about my plans and my interests, and it was really a lovely conversation. And it struck me how lucky I’ve been to work for and with such good people for the last six years. Sure, my actual job isn’t the most challenging thing, and that’s at least part of why I’m going back to school, but the people around me are really some of the best people there are. (They have to be, to work in the public sector. Pride and dedication are about the only extra remuneration we get.)

Still, I’m keeping busy. Everyone knows I’m going, but I still have five months to get through. I try not to get caught in the “passing time” mindset. Thankfully, I’ve just passed out of a phase where everything I was working on was rote. Just in time for spring!
