(no subject)

There is a relief of seeing the official end to my workday arrive. I have not made a dent in what I wanted to achieve today, yet failure is now certain and sealed. I am unable, and knowing that I feel better than as I frantically tried to shove aside all the emerging issues as if I could get my work done. It's 3pm - I cannot.

I ran the numbers and if I cash in all my comp and related time it's around 13 grand. Some can't be cashed, I think, but it still leaves around 7 grand plus some serious time off. This is before you count my 26 days of paid annual leave - all the in the "use or lose" category.

I apologized to my former Director, confessing to him that I did not apply for his old job. He responded quickly, noting he thoroughly understood...and asking if I was ready (for 1 of 4 positions at his new Agency). I responded I think I should still practice law a tad longer than I went to law school but was curious (I don't make decisions lightly - often losing for hedging I know).

SO much to think about.
