Don't want to count my chickens yet but...

I got some great news yesterday.

A three month opportunity that will mean I can leave my crappy job and try something new.

I am so pumped!

I am not counting my chickens yet as my boss has to OK the transfer but I doubt he would say no. He is keen for me to leave anyway.

Upon getting the confirmation about the job, I called my boss to let him know and instead of congratulating me, he said 'I guess I should congratulate you. Is the job permanent?'


Oh gee I feel overwhelmed by your support.

Instead of telling him top jam it up his arse I responded by saying thanks but no its not permanent.

I know this, if the new boss doesn't offer a permanent position, then there is no way in hell I am going back to my old team. Not after the week I have had this week.

It was humiliating moving all my stuff from my desk and moving to a desk outside of my team's pod. Some colleagues where not kind at all and ignored the fact I had been shafted, while the others felt sorry for me and didn't know what to say.

While no one made me feel crap but I did feel like that and it was bloody awful.

Anyway I only have to wait three weeks before I can move to my new team and then that's it.

I can say good bye to my old team, my old boss, my old life and look forward to something brand new and something that will open new doors for me.

I  would like to leave my current job in a more positive way but I doubt that will be happening.

Not too worry. It's not my problem.

As I said, screw 'em!

P.S the moment I got a call about this job, 15 minutes later, I got another call from recruiter about another job. Not too shabby!
