Another Year - What else is New

So it's been quite some time since I did my usual brain dump. So much has gone on at work I think I'm going to pop. First and foremost the big stuff. There was a realignment in my company and they decided that what's old should be new, so they went back to how things used to be when I first started working here. My office that went from managing 3 states to one went back to three states again. The real difference is that we're now a Territory instead of Regions. It's so silly, but whatever. Nothing like reinventing the wheel during tough economic times to keep people working.

None the less the crazy change for me of course is the restructuring of my office. Well it pains me to say but my former boss (we'll call him Mr. Awesome - because he was) basically got a demotion, while Mr. Man got a promotion. So now Mr. Awesome (who was already the head of my Territory when it was a region in charge of three states) works under Mr. Man. Doing Better keeps her same position (lucky devil), and Ms. Know it All got a promotion - making her MY BOSS!!!!! Yes these know it all but really knows nothing, too involved in little projects, only been here a little under a year, annoying person is y MY BOSS!!!!! Now I'm far from upset that I wasn't offered this position because:

1. I'm not qualified
2. I don't want the responsibility

but to give it to her, I'm amazed. I've concluded that they chose her because she's the right qualifications and will work for cheap. They probably gave her a $2k raise to be here, and she happily accepted because hey, it's upward mobility. I'm quite content with my manager status and will continue to stay there.

I'm really upset by this company though. I have no zeal to do my daily functions, during the driest of times "the higher ups" complained about my excessive time on personal websites (even though there was absolutely NOTHING for me to do), and I'm getting into a tug of war about getting into the office by 9:15 (ironically my first year at this job I thought getting in at 9:05 was absolutely too late). Not to mention people who lack leadership skills are being placed in leadership positions, and I'm the crash test dummy that has to see if that experiment will work.

I'm done! I've been praying about this for quite some time, and I'm convinced that this is not the place God wants me to be anymore. I thought that with the economy the way it is, and with all I have on my plate financially that I should stay in my lane and work, but after having my final personal development meeting with Mr. Man, feeling like an idiot when quoting my salary and just constantly not feeling right (the minute Mr. Man walked into the room today I had an instant headache), I know God is telling me something. So here's to job applications. I read a verse today that I think I'll always keep in my ear Psalm 17:1 - I'll keep praying because I know God is listening to me.
