Maternal Bon Voyage

So today is Mom’s last day at work… just got back from her good-bye luncheon. Long story, but the Reader’s Digest condensed version of it is: Politics. She quit. Her departure has been much akin to (as she puts it) grabbing hold of a hornet’s nest and shaking the crap out of it. Folks are certainly scrambling to make sure this division will continue to function after she’s gone.

Fortunately, I’ve been able to invoke the power of my superiors in order to back out completely from the whole situation. I will no longer be back-up for her job, I will not fill in while they find a replacement for her, I will not have ANYthing to do with the Documents Center. I simply can’t. I’ve become so overwhelmed with my own work… and considering the direction my position may go in the near future, I’ll have even less time for it.

As for Mom, well… she’s going to take some much needed time off. Mebbe I’ll get her hooked on that DarkHunter series that IHOP Buddy got ME hooked on, and I turned around and already got Radish hooked on. Normally Mom doesn’t go for the romance novels, but I was telling her about the mythological aspect of it, and she sounded interested. She and Pop have also booked a Disney World vacation in April, too. I’m jealous, but I’m also broke, so no trips in the near future for me. :)
