The jobs done. I left a little before noon on Thursday. They said I could take whatever time I needed to job hunting so I took them at their word. Technically, I’m on the payroll until Tuesday (the 15th), but Val was making Thursday his last day, and they’d already taken both of us out of the directory, so no one was calling, so they didn’t need me there.
It’s funny, but after all the stress of the last month, it’s actually a relief to be out of there. I don’t think I’ve really been happy there for a while. Mostly because my boss was unhappy. He kept saying that he was fishing for job offers to get something better out of the university. But the truth is, he’s been unhappy at the job for a while. He’s a very take charge, get things done kind of guy, and that’s just not the kind of place the University here is. They’re big on decision by concensus, and it really did make Val crazy. That, and once collective bargaining was done, there just wasn’t that much going on at the university to interest someone of his caliber. And since the university was completely unwilling to widen the scope of his job, his only real alternative was to go elsewhere. But, like I was saying, I think his dissatisfaction with his job was driving mine as well. So, now it’s time for a new start.
*sits and stares at the phone waiting for it to ring*
Yep…a new start….any minute now….
