A Little Apprehensive

As you may (or may not) remember, about this time last year, I was "temporarily" reassigned to a different department due to a contractual hiatus that had nothing to do with me. If I'm not making sense, just think "bureaucratic red tape". Here we are, one year later, and I'm still "temporarily" reassigned. A bit bored out of my mind sometimes, but since the reassignment didn't come with a loss of salary or benefits or perks, well, I'm decently paid to be occasionally bored out of my mind.

About two weeks ago, we received notification that this "process" was likely going to continue for another 2 years. Fabulous. But THEN, on Monday, that was reversed and we should have "clear" contract awards on December 14. Sounds fabulous, right? Except that the process for those contract awards was already overturned 2 months ago..... Confusing you yet? Well, yeah, me too.......

So basically, come December 14, I may or may not have my "temporary" reassignment, I may or may not have a job at all, for that matter. Isn't that a FABULOUS way to face the holidays?

  1. That's nerve-wracking. Sorry you're going through that. While I really hope you have a job come December 14th, it might be a good idea to update your resume anyways.

  3. Oh, the resume is definitely polished and sparkly! That was done last year, and while I have been "keeping my eyes open" since the hiatus last year, I have not been actively looking. Quite honestly, the benefits package here is fabulous and is going a long way towards trying to makeup ground for me not saving any for retirement in my 20's and early 30's.

  4. It is amazing anything gets done at all. I hope that in the minimum you stay in a boring job.....but better yet, get moved to a job that you LOVE.
