Stress!

The last couple of days have been very busy for me. Not just because it’s my busy time at work and we’re hopefully filing our 10-Q today, no, apparently I needed more stress in my life. We found out Monday that my boss is leaving our company next week. She is such a key person in this department, and as a team of 1, it’s left to me now until the controller figures out what she wants to do.

My position has been very difficult for me…in a good way. I’ve never done what I’m doing before, and in the almost 2 years that I’ve been doing what I’m doing I’ve learned a ton. But I have no where near the knowledge that my boss has (she’s about 8 years ahead of me age and school-wise). So there’s no way I would ever come close to feeling comfortable stepping into her shoes. But until they find a replacement, that’s what I have to do…and probably all through year-end and filing our 10-K (which is a huge, huge deal).

Our controller’s goal, as of now, is to promote me, put someone under me, and then still hire someone above me to do all of the high-high level stuff my current boss does. This is all just fine with me, but like I said, it probably won’t happen until February or March of next year. Which just sucks.

In happier news I had a Lia Sophia jewelry party last night and it turned out really well! I had a lot more orders than I thought I would and now I’m picking out the pieces that I want to get for myself. But it was still a long night last night and it will be nice to have a night with nothing to do tonight!

I’m trying to keep up with all of you…I just may not be commenting as much due to the added work stress :)
