Yes, that's right. I'm back and in action. Apparently. My head still feels like an empty black hole and technically I don't have a job. Well, I don't have a job title. There will only be four positions at every Language Center: Director (still Cheryl), LIS (Bonnie, but maybe me before I leave because Bonnie might take medical leave), Assistant Director (TJ - new position) and Service/Sales Representative (Sonia). So, at the moment I'm still answering phones and writing emails and helping with the big transition. They will definitely need me until I go to Norway, but no one is replacing me. TJ will do all the accounting, payroll, the schedule and daily menial tasks, but is a very back-up to answering phones. Cheryl and Sonia will be doing that. Sonia will be selling. The position allows her to work towards either the Director position or the CSA (Corporate Sales Associate) position. She's leaning towards the CSA because that's what she wants. Truly and deeply wants. Will it happen? No idea.
There's a lot going on between Sonia and Cheryl right now. And it's not nice. :( And I'm on Sonia's side with all of it because Cheryl is not being fair and at this rate, Sonia's going to quit. She can come to Norway with me. :) Well... maybe not. But it's not a healthy environment and Cheryl is usurping her powers over Sonia. Sonia feels completely mis-treated and she's right. Cheryl is an oddball when it comes to management and there are so many reasons why she should not be a Director of an LC. But to be honest, I'm leaving in less than two months and I could care less at this point. Mostly because I still have a grad school app that's not finished yet and due ASAP, plus a social life to lead. There's just no room to try and worry about whether things might change. Although, of course I am worried about what will happen to Sonia. Or rather for Sonia. Because it's not like she's some sub-par employee here and that's how Cheryl's treating her. So.... I'm angry at Cheryl for that. But if I get angry at her for that, it will effect my work and I can't on good conscience leave a job feeling like I didn't do enough. Not for Cheryl, but for the customers.
Anyway, got some stuff to take care of and leave! Hightail it home! And it's pouring! Fucking buckets!
