Sigh

I got the word today, Phil (old boss) is planning to come back in September. That means I take off the Boss Hat (which I don’t mind so much) and go back to being a Part Time Peon (which I do mind). It’s not so much the loss of $$, although that does sting a bit, it’s the sense of going backwards and losing control over a bunch of stuff that has been going pretty well for me lately. That and going back to doing all of MY work and most of the Boss work and having him skate out for a week every month. I could look upon it as an opportunity to coast and let him deal (or not deal) with all of the work and get swamped and etc., but the final upshot of all of that is that the library will suffer and I would have trouble letting that happen.

So, I’m looking around and weighing my options. There may be another opportunity here that will allow me to stay in the area. That would be ideal. If that doesn’t happen, we may be looking for a position somewhere else in the world. I have until September to make up my mind, but it doesn’t seem like long enough right now.
