Well, I'm back from my trip to Texas. I was so wore out by the time I got home Wednesday night. I was worried about Stinkerbelle while I was gone. I had left plenty of food and water out, but was worried about her being alone the three days. I left the TV on for her, though. And yes, it was on Animal Planet. When I walked in the door, she greeted me at the front like she always does, then wouldn't let me pet her, again, just like always. *grin* But I knew she had missed me when I went to bed. I've talked before about how she usually wakes me up between 3-5 a lot of times, to pet her. But Wednesday night, as soon as I laid down, she hopped up on the bed and laid on top of me for her petting. She came back in 3 more times for more petting.
Well, Thursday I was back in the office, and just a little before 5, my boss called me into her office. She's leaving. She received an offer from another company that is an opportunity she just didn't think she could pass up. I'm not happy about this. I mean, I'm happy for her, but I really wish she was not leaving. One, we're friends, and this job will mean her moving to Ohio. Two, she's a great boss to work for. She does NOT micro-manage at all. Her POV is that we're all adults, we know what our jobs are, and what we need to do, and we don't need her looking over our shoulders.
So now, I'm faced with a few decisions of my own. Do I apply for her job? More stress, more responsibilities, actually being a supervisor and responsible for all the A/R, not just the Medicare portion. Do I do nothing, just stay where I'm at? Do I look outside the company for a new job? My fear is if they promote from within, and one of the other two women in our department apply and get the job. Or if one of two regional people should apply and get the job. These 4 women are the type to micro-manage to the point to specify what font type and size to use on file labels, and what color pen to use for different things. I know, they could hire someone from outside of the company who could be just as bad.

Ack. That sucks. I have a boss who does nothing but micromanage and it makes us all crazy to the point of wanting to find new jobs.
Apply for the job!!!!!
I vote for you to apply for the job, too. Your current boss might give you a good recommendation.
Isn't it great how our pets miss us when we're gone? I'm glad that she did well.
Apply for it. If someone else gets it and is micro-managing, *then* start looking elsewhere, maybe.
*smooch*
Our poor cats have been attached to our sides for the past 3 days. First we took their Momma out in a carrier and never brought her home again. *sob* Then we went on vacation for four days. They probably thought we weren't coming back either. They have been super clingy ever since we got home. It feels nice in the middle of the night to have one biting my eyelid and the other biting my hand. I feel loved. :)
I also say go for the job. Then if it becomes too much you can look elsewhere. But I'm sure you can do it!
I've left my cats for much longer. They always forgive.
Bravie, it sounds like they're trying to eat you, not show love.
Well, the job posting came out today. The deadline to apply is the 24th. *starts to hyperventilate just thinking about it*
Apply for the job. You never know until you do it. Plus, then you can be in charge and set a shining example. And if you don't get it, and you don't like the new person, you can at least go out knowing you gave it a shot.
Okay, so about this label thing. I actually prefer Arial Bold Font, size 12 for my folders. It should really never be smaller than 11. I also like centering, and for all abbreviations to be consistent. And the biggest, absolute must, is that you should use staggered folders. There should never, ever, be two folders back to back that have the cut in the same position.
*grin*
*lets out deep breath*
Well, I did it. I turned my resume in to apply for the job. So, we'll see what happens.
Boo. Boo. That's just sad. *grin*
Awesome. My fingers are crossed. *smooch*
Good luck, arkie.
Well?
A little late to the party but hoping you get the promotion!
And how did it turn out?
