    Kind of depressed (not clinically). I'm having a project that I grew from scratch over many years taken away from my position at work. It has been near and dear to my heart. The powers that be have decided that it needs to be moved to a completely different faculty purely for political reasons (and because of an uncooperative member of upper management), and I'm not able to carry on in my role with it because of employee contract restrictions, which really sucks. Now I have to gear up for a massive hand over to someone who isn't going to give a flying fuck about it or know wtf they're doing, and it will just be a sad endeavor on a personal level. Not to mention difficult and stressful. :frowning:

    Sorry. It sounds like a project about which you were quite enthusiastic. Perhaps if you channel that enthusiasm into a sort of sales pitch during the hand over, stressing the project’s attributes and possible positive outcomes, the person who assumes the new responsibility for it will champion it.

    That sounds sad, PJ_Soul. Good luck on the transition.

    I started the part-time seasonal job at a chain book store today, and it was a lot of fun. However, when I came home I got a job offer for a full-time position at a new independent bookstore that opens tomorrow. OMG! How exciting! I had to contact the chain store and let them know I won't be available. Holy cow a new independent bookstore in DC. How exciting, how exciting, how exciting!

    Sometimes the universe likes to mess with me a little too much...like when it let's me have exactly what I wanted, but only after it's too late. So not cool. What a shame.

    How fast some people disappear as soon as sex is off the table. Is that really all I'm worth? :disappointed:
