DELAYED DEPARTURE

I am livid.

No. That's not true.

I am pissed and disappointed... and a little bit kicking myself for being so surprised.

This afternoon, about 10 min before I left for the day, I found out that my new job transfer date just got pushed back another 2 weeks. Instead of starting July 1, it's going to be July 20.

Another fucking month of this shit...

I kind of expected it, but since it has been over a week now since everything was locked down I was finally starting to be a little relieved in thinking that I was good to go. I expected the date to be delayed or there to be at least some kind of pissing contest about it right off the bat. I didn't expect it to take so long.

Apparently, it all went down yesterday and I am just now finding out.

Perfect. I know I am still going, but god damn I am sick of this shit and I was counting the hours til my exist.

It got delayed at a very high level apparently, someone realized how much shit I have going on and panicked that it was all going to fall to no one. So the scrambling has begun.

Come on, this was not a surprised to anyone but my boss (and I know it wasn't him who did this- this came from higher up and he wouldn't risk losing face anyway)... and now?

Damn it.

Sorry LF, that really sucks.

But it doesn't NEARLY suck as much as the pinheaded Boss you're leaving behind.

Think happy thoughts and have a great weekend.

Five or six more days of chainsawing and hauling debris here and I get to head back to Virginia Beach, a stop on the Outer Banks, and finally, home sweet home to Memphis.
