Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Pumpkin thinks I should celebrate by petting her all the time. Alrighty then!

I'm trying to button up everything that needs buttoning on my old job so I can start cramming for my new job that I officially start in two weeks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My new boss and my old manager had a meeting about my transition last week. I don't know if that was supposed to indicate it's been done badly or what. But old manager has been worse than terse. She's had a lot on her plate since coming back from PTO, but I do feel like I've been disappeared from there--other people talk to me still, but there's a void there--I can't even draw her out on conference calls.

Punishingly Intricate

Glad it worked out, sara!

That sucks, ita. My transition is off a product that's closing, at least, so everyone on my old team is supportive and also moving to a new role.

It's a rough time for IT in general right now, but that could contribute to an we're-all-in-this-together feeling, rather than a palpable chill. I do know some people think this was an effective promotion, and maybe some people think I think so.

Hell, my first reflex was that I'd been ditched.

I'm glad yours is going well.

I meant to say YAY for re-fis and more monthly money on hand.

So far! We'll see what happens when I start doing the new thing full time. Insert "I have no idea what I'm doing" meme here.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Yay, sara! Glad it went well.

I'm sorry everyone else is having a pissy Monday. I myself was ready to start drinking at 9:20 this morning.
