It was my first day of Administrative Leave last Friday.
It's basically a two week paid vacation until the office can figure out where they will place me or not place me after the 'reduction in force/reorganization" process is settled.
On Thursday I had to hand in my keys, ID and parking permit, oh and walk away from the work that I have done for them for the past 9 years.
It was (is) really, really hard.

I sort of moped around and didn't get out of my slippers all day.
O and I did make cookies and play a lot of trains though- thank goodness for cookies and kids, right?
Totally sucks, Vanessa, but somehow you captured something beautiful in the process. Hope everything works out best for you and your family.
ReplyDelete@Jill thank you so much. I really am going in and out of being upset and okay with it all. I am also reallllly trying to find the positive stuff right now, like this ray of sunshine on my comfy slippers :)
ReplyDeletepout. this sounds really frustrating ... not knowing what is going to happen.
ReplyDeletebut i hope you enjoy the extra time with the kiddos :)

ReplyDeleteI've been away Vanessa. I'm so sorry. What a hard thing to swallow. I wish you the best and hope that something really amazing presents itself to you in the near future. You're in my thoughts. xoKyndale
