Change has happened...

Everything culminated in a phone call in which I really don't remember what I said, but I remember the response. It was yesterday late afternoon with Melanie Kingston. I said something about work and her response was  something like "we're just going to have to pray for you a new job, no matter if you have a replacement or not."And the miracle of the situation; I heard and agreed, mostly. I hung up the phone and cried because I can no longer keep saying "well, when this person gets trained, then I'll get the work schedule I want." I've said that SO many times in the past year.  I could go on and on about all the changes pushed on me staring with three weeks into my maternity leave with my boss saying that I couldn't bring Steven into the office as promised BEFORE I was pregnant.

And then there's Chad's assignment changing. Its "supposed" to start next week with the DEA, but we're holding our breath because it was suppose to happen a few months ago. However whenever it happens, there's going to be a lot of over time. He's going to be really happy with it, but there's a lot of stuff at home that will need to get done that he's been doing.

So the decisions been made. I told my boss today. dunh, dunh, dunh...I'm moving to part time and if I work one minute over then I get over time. We're hiring a full time admin asst and I'm just going to do office manager stuff; like I should have been doing for a long time.  It's going to be difficult; I'm taking a huge pay cut. But can you pay for sanity?

I'm going to be looking for something else; at least part time to supplement and then maybe I'll cut back even more. This is a huge start for me to set a limit and I'm going to stick with it.

I'm excited about what's to come and what doors will open because of this decision.
