holding pattern: a state of waiting or suspended activity or progress
Or my life this week.
Friday I am going to tell my boss about me leaving, but until then I have to pretend there is nothing going on...and I feel bad about it. Especially today when I had my monthly "one-on-one" meeting with her to discuss my future, performance and goals and I had to somewhat (well maybe even more than somewhat) lie. I really considered just coming clean and telling her today. Which would mean risking her (or more likely her boss) forcing me leave earlier then I want and me missing out on some extra money. Which would suck. I didn't do that.
Blah.
I'm anxious about this quiting thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to actually do it. It's the conversation that makes me anxious.
Some people at work do know and I was wondering if my boss had any ideas...but after our meeting today I really think I am going to be completely taking her by surprise. The goody-goody in me has issues with that.
On another note...I know this blog has been a little ehhh lately. Blame it on the holding pattern.

I'd be anxious too, girl! Good luck...everything will be fine!
I'm sorry to hear that, but know exactly where you're coming from. My maternity leave is not really decided yet on my part and I hate having to pretend to know exactly when I'm coming back.
awkward!!! hang in there!!
Oh. Yeah, I would be feeling weird and anxious, too. I can't say I blame you for feeling funky about it.
Quitting a job is SO stressful I know! We're behind you 100% Cee!! You can do it! Just think of how much more relaxed you will be once you get over this hurdle!
i'll be in your shoes soon enough! good luck! it'll all be okay and work out! :)
Ugh, that is so awkward! Hopefully the talk won't be too bad!
I am in a total "holding pattern" until school is out. I feel like I am holding my breathe waiting for it to be over... and it is causing me to be a bad blogger! Blah!
aww, this stinks! I understand your feelings! It will be over soon.
When I was going to give notice at my last job...I was already VERY nervous about it...THEN, they went and FIRED someone with my position that morning! They had an emergency meeting that afternoon and gave ME a lot of the fired person's cases and responsibilities...I was FREAKING out. There were 2 others in my position in that meeting and ONE knew I was getting ready to give notice. I HAD to go up that day and tell my manager and she thought I was joking. I was like "Um, I didnt know you were going to fire him today!"
It was so hard...esp when they offered me a TON more money to stay, but it was too late. I took the other job and was MOVING out of state to take it.
Well, that may not make you feel better, but I am thinking of you! :)
This stinks, but it is all for the best!
I've been there and it's an awful feeling! Hang in there!
Only a few more days of the yucky, anxious feeling. Good luck!!
Aww hang in there! Good luck!
