Here's an Update! *****NEWSFLASH*****

After emailing my boss my intent to resign, I received a response from her, begging me to come in and "talk to her" so we could brainstorm and come up with a solution so that I don't leave.

Ummmm....Thanks but NO THANKS!

It is clearly apparent to me that every time a new policy is made, everyone has to scramble to figure out a way around it, then in 6 months it's discovered and another policy change is created again. I'm sorry, but I am NOT playing those games anymore. They exhaust me. I can't keep up with them. My life is stressful enough on a good day, I don't want to and I won't play games with my employers.

Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those who cannot handle change. On the contrary, I usually embrace change as I look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow. But these changes the agency makes are constant and in many ways always screwing those of us in the trenches. I'm just not up to this anymore....it's sucking the life right out of me.

In the mean time, I've spoken with my other boss at the newspaper and told him I gave my notice at the agency. To my delight, he is speaking with the general manager and comptroller this week to let them know he would like to hire me full time ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I've known he wanted me full time since I started back at the newspaper last December. But I didn't expect him to jump so quickly and I'm really pleased. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside So, I'm kind of holding my breath until Friday (my next working day at the paper) to find out what the answer is. Knowing the newspaper as I do (I've worked there for a total of 16 years) I realize they may not decide to hire me full time. And that's ok, there are plenty of other jobs I can go for and get. I'm not worried about it. I would just like to have a full time position with health insurance again. It's been over 2 years since I've had health insurance...and that's not good.

Anywho....your positive vibes and prayers would be appreciated folks. Thanks a bunches

Hugssssssss
