Today began just like any ordinary Wednesday, I got up early got ready for work and was on my way. I arrived at my desk in Amherst (coming from Medina) at 8:15 AM like usual. I had just sat down and began reviewing my e-mail when my boss came over and somberly said he needed to talk to me, instantly I became nervous. I hesitated but went over to his desk and said firmly, “I’m ready when you are.” he told me to have a seat. Then he looked around and decided we should talk in private. So I followed him to an empty managers cube and he told me that I was not in trouble, which was a relief and said instead – this was a good thing. His boss, had been looking for someone to join a much more difficult group that handles much (when I say much I mean like hundreds of millions of dollars much) larger transactions. He told me he was asked to select someone, and he decided to offer me the challenge – he then told me his boss had me in mind as well but wanted to see what he would suggest. So, I obliged and moved my desk to a much larger one and met my new group. I instantly sponged all of the information and began to work. Okay, does anyone else see the problem? I am an enlisted Air Force member and am leaving in a month. Unfortunately, I didn’t want it to be known to the company just yet that I was leaving as I have a few weeks until I even give my two weeks notice. So I kept quiet and took the position. The good news is I will be getting a lot of over time and will be making well over 20.00 an hour for it on top of my all ready good salary. I actually like the new position – unfortunately it is all ready too late. I’m very tired and am looking forward to eating tomorrow. Have a good thanks giving everyone, in retrospect I have much to be thankful for this year. Anyway, that concludes this entry.
