The boss is leaving. The university wouldn’t take the step organizationally that he needed for them to take, so he’s taking the offer out of Chicago. What that means for me is hard to say. They will probably make the associate director the interim director, and she says they tend to leave those in place for a long time (sometimes years) as long as things are running well. The thing is, she already has a secretary, so where does that leave me?
Needless to say, my stomach is in knots. I’m trying really hard to take a wait and see attitude, but my first impulse whenever I have trouble is to jump ship and run. It’s what I do. I’m trying not to let that part of me take over, but to wait and see what the Divine has to tell me about all of this. If I *am* supposed to move on, I’m sure I’ll see the signs. So, until then, I wait.
So, if I’m really bitchy in the coming weeks, you’ll know why *laughs*. I don’t wait well.

If I were in your shoes, I’d express my concern to the boss before he leaves. Perhaps he will, of a sense of obligation for the situation in which he is leaving you, suggest employment options from his own network of contacts. I’m sure the Divine wouldn’t mind if you sent out a few resumes while you’re waiting.
