emo day

good day/sad day, started off teh tenses, was in a bit of an arguement with a coworker yesterday. Don't feel she is stepping up the way she could and should and is using a lame excuse. It is really having a big impact on another coworker and that bothers me. If I was staying I would do the right thing, but I can't do that to my team and whoever replaces me. Once I know who that is I might ask my team if they want to step up, but they will have a lot of adjusting so we'll see. If I've been successful they would, but ideally, it shouldn't even be a question. By late day today we had moved on, but still some underlying tension, and no matter how high we go, this will be in the back of mind.


When I first started, my manager reported to an amazing manager. I loved this guy. All through my first few years I admired everything about him. He was fantastic when I had to be off after an accident, and truly believed in my ability to recover and be successful. Without his support, I honestly don't know...
I left for another division for a while as a manager and then came back to manage a very tough team. I didn't report to him unfortunately, but spent the last year watching, absorbing every detail I could from his style and learning from him though. A recent shuffle (last month) had me reporting to him, and then it was announced he was leaving to go to a branch. His last day was today
I'm leaving next week for another Dept. and am more used to shuffles/external moves (still within the company umbrella) than some of my peers, there was a lot of sadness. He will be so successful and I think much happier in the new job ( a new lease of life if you will). I'm thrilled for him, and glad I learned as much as I could when I could from him, and got to report to him directly before he left. I feel bad for my badly hit coworkers. This will be the time for them to prove themselves though, I hope they grab the bull by the horns.


Work is so hectic right now I'm taking a vacation day tmw so I can work from home and get more done. Unreal.

Going rockclimbling and to a Leafs game with the works next week as part of a reward and recog thing, and things are looking good for the end of Q1. It'd be nice to get something for that before I leave. Also have curling on Saturday - lets hope there is no concussion this year, just lots of "fun"

I got to choose my team's name "On the Rocks". AS if it would be anything else!!
