Taking the plunge

We've worked the numbers.

While it will mean a fairly significant reduction in income for the short run, Court and I agreed that going full time with the consultants is the right thing for me to do.


So, beginning July 1, I'll no longer work for the college.

Now, if I can contain my glee and keep this a secret until April or May when I'll officially notify the college, all will be well.

Woo Who!!!! Try not to act to happy of work- whenever you're tempted, just picture bully vp.

Zoe said...

That's great! Best of luck to you.

Valerie said...

Congrats! It sounds like a great opportunity for you!

I'm really happy for you!!! Think you'll be able to keep quiet about it for so long, though?

So does this mean no more coppy-feely lunches for you and your wife?

Campus is just five minutes away Michelle. Court will come home for lunch.... Hummina, hummina!

Sassy, that's a good question. Two people in HR already know, because I needed their advice on the health insurance decision. They are close friends and they'll keep it quiet. I also told my part-time assistant, because the likely scenario, once I'm gone, is that Bully VP will take over until my replacement is hired (he had this job before he was promoted to campus bully). That would put her at the mercy of Bully VP's secretary, and she's a bully too. I want my assistant to have plenty of time to find a new home, and as it turns out, there's an opening in IT for which she's an ideal candidate.

That's great news! Sounds like a very positive move for all of you.

If Bully VP knows what is good for him, he'll keep his ass in his office until then.

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear of this change. You'll definitely be about to burst by the time July rolls around, though.

Good for you and good for both of you for sitting down and just figuring what works for you.

That is the hardest part of any change, I think.
