I had a great day today. Great day daydreaming and doing some personal work. I have not done too much work wise. But my manager was interviewing for a new job and he was not here today so I had a free day. I should have accomplished more, but hey, I did what I like and I think it’s OK to have a day like this today. I did a lot of not-work related work and thinking…
Yes, I think my manager is interviewing. He told me a while ago that he will start looking. I think it’s a matter of time before he leaves. It’s not a good situation and we’ll probably struggle as a team if he leaves. We don’t have any veterans on the team! I am hoping he stays on for at least couple more months…
I wonder what’s going to happen when he does leave. Who’s going to become the Connex manager? I want to become a manager, but am I ready? I don’t think I am, but who else? Who else is going to take over a very complicated system? I doubt they will be able to hire somebody, plus, how is a new person going to do it?
I am hoping that they’ll recruit me for the job. It’s not going to be easy, but I am willing to do it. In fact, I am expecting it to be me. If not, I will most like leave the company. It would mean that they don’t have any hopes in me. I would probably not leave right away, but would instead try to check it out first. We’ll see.
I am still hoping for a sunny day scenario.
Toastmasters————I did some updates on our website today. It was due.
Jim contacted me about a very interesting project. A club in the area, Acquirain is on life support. They don’t have enough new members and the club does not have a lot of leadership. They’re basically dying. Jim, the area governor, is looking to have somebody help them survive. I think I’m willing to do it. They’re only meeting once a month, which is good, and I think they’re a friendly club. I am willing to help them. It’s a challenge, but I love challenges.
