oh joy.

so friday my computer and boxed up office belongings (a scant two boxes' worth, thank you very much) were moved to my new space with my new team. tomorrow the new position begins and i am so very happy. 

if i'd have heard my now-former-supervisor say one more time, with obvious joy & glee, 'i'm old enough to be everyone's mom here! i'm like the surrogate mom here!' i would have enacted a smack down. seriously. uhm, feeling bad you're back at work and not home with you annoying children? don't take it out on your coworkers. we don't want a mother a work. it's insulting. seriously. at my going away lunch friday, i finally told her that she probably thought i was younger than she thought i was. she looked at my blankly with her mouth in a perfect 'o.' yes, i said, if you were really old enough to be my mother, you'd have had me in your teens. 'o' her mouth continued to say. i'm almost xxxx, said i. the 'o' stayed put and she blinked like a deer in the headlights. 'oh, gosh,' she finally said. 'i guess i would have been in my teens!' 

garghh! she so doesn't get it. i'm glad i don't have to hear it anymore. 

onto brighter things. new position with new team starts tomorrow. yay. no mothering there, that's for sure.
