another head aches

another heart breaks.

*

i spent two hours on the phone with my old chef, talking about all our old idiocies and me trying not to fly off the handle about this stupidity at work. i realized how much i despise peoples' motivation just to make themselves look better, especially when it affects the very people i am responsible for.

*

finally talked with V about this atlanta gig, and how i've accepted that this is the next logical step for me, personally and careerwise, and that i just need to throw myself all in. and there's even a backup plan already, if atlanta doesn't work out then burlington, vt is an option, as well as future openings in philly, boston, or even vegas. ha! vegas...

but who knows. my goals for now are to law down the law with my own staff and try to make sure that i survive unscathed by my own management team screwing the pooch with this labor issue.

seriously, what are the odds that i am going to be the whisle blower on the same issue twice?
