Changes Before Other Changes

Since today was a work day, and the first day of Daylight's Saving Time, I didn't get much of anything done today.  I did at least find out who owned the next box of eBay stuff I opened this evening.  I'm getting down to the part of the pile that has been there so long that I practically need some kind of retro-memory therapy to bring back the reasons all that crap is piled up there.

We have a new director coming to our work place in the next few weeks.  This will be a major change for all of us.  It's interesting because part of me is excited (and worried) about what this new person will mean to us.  But the larger part of me feels almost divorced from the whole situation since I know that I won't be there very long.  I mostly worry about what this means for the people I care about, the people I'll leave behind.

I feel like I can handle whatever may come.  Feeling this separation makes me feel as though I'm insulated from whatever happens.  For the record, it won't matter if the director is the perfect saint, I'm still going.  I already learned from my years at another place of employment that only leaving cures severe burnout, nothing less will work.
