Friday means what?

14 12 2007

I hereby advise the universe of an addition to my plans which previously left open a 2 week gap for incidentals but which have subsequently been amended for the sole purpose of not confusing the crap out of the universe…. to be on the safe side as per warning received. See amendment below!

Today was a big day that I was looking forward to. It was going to symbol a major step in my departure from this place. It was the day that my replacement advertised position was going to close and enable us to make the decision of who was going to be the next IT Manager of this show.

My boss extended the opening for a week. Again, I shake my head.

All is not lost. There is still time. Time for a fight. It may only be a one week delay but that has some serious knock-on effects. It means my departure could be delayed by a month. It means my arrival at my next required destination will be delayed. It could also mean that the time that I was going to have between projects will be canceled. This however is all negative feedback. I’m not a negative person any more.

This is how its going to happen!:

If I have said it once, I have said it a million times!
