After a couple of frantic SMSs from Baby Sis last night, wondering what was happening in my life, I thought I'd write a quick post to reassure everyone that I'm fine, at least in the physical sense. I'm nowhere near an actual earthquake. My turmoil is all psychological, pertaining mostly to some changes at work that I'm finding a little hard to deal with. It’s gone from being safe and fun to a little scary and stressful, and I’m still figuring out how to navigate this new situation.
Yesterday was a particularly difficult day for me and I needed an outlet – the exact reason I started this blog in the first place. To give you a more concrete understanding, I can tell you that BossLady resigned – Thursday was her last day – and, until her replacement starts on 3 May, I’ve been left in charge of the department.
BL was a large part of why I’ve enjoyed my job so much over the last 2-odd years. She’s been my mentor and a pretty good friend. I’m missing her leadership and the security she exuded, not to mention her passion and flamboyant personality.
On Thursday evening 4 of my colleagues and I took BL to see Madam Zingara to say farewell. The show is amazing and I recommend it anyone. I finally switched off my bedside light just before 2am and was sitting at my desk a little after 7am. A serious lack of sleep made all the emotions feel at least twice as intense. Add this to a minor problem at the office and I was an emotional wreck by the time I left there.
But the day was salvaged by a couple of new friends who bought me dinner and assuaged my emotions with an evening of good music. Thanks E and L – you guys rock!
