Change, change, change

Time to get a new job. Yesterday, my boss was forced to "mutually agreed to resign." The feeling around here is not very positive. I started looking for a new job about three weeks ago in mid-January. It took a couple weeks, but finally the tension snapped and he was gone. The CEO called an all-hands meeting and made some mouth movements about how much we liked him and how it was "unfortunate" that my boss had to leave.

In an embarassing moment, the CEO made a magnanimous gesture of offering a going-away luncheon on 2/28. My boss said, "I'll think about it."

I thought we were fighting only the enemies at this company. It turns out that our internal guys in the foxhole with us were supplying the enemy with our positions and movements and, worse, shooting at us from inside the foxhole.

I don't have any regrets or nostalgia. It's just time to move on. Start dialing for dollars and scouring the internet for jobs. If needed, I could take a few months off without pay. But then it's harder to dig out of the debt hole, not to mention that nobody wants to hire someone who is unemployed for long periods of time.

We'll see what happens.
