Got word yesterday that my manager is leaving for another position within the company. After 2 years in Arkansas, he will be going north. I remember when he was announced (and I was a temp then), thoughts around the office were basically "what the hell does a warehouse guy know about sales." When he got to us, we had a small informal meeting for each of us to introduce ourselves and what we do. Well, when he got there, I was a temp, and "short term" at that. So my introduction was "I'm on my way out, so say hi to my ass" (in so many words). I was fortunate enough to work with and around him for almost 6 months, and when a position opened up I was the one he called and helped me get hired. I've now been at the U for 15+ months, and he's leaving. You will be missed sir, even if I am not showing it. Please note our conversation from earlier today...there are those I would like you to take with you, preferably sending them ahead SOON to get used to the area. However, as also stated earlier today, I'll quit the U before taking a transfer north. There isn't enough money to get me back.
Tomorrow is the appointment with the orthopedic. There are those that have been asking what the next step is with this. Will finally have an answer for them. I really don't know. I really believed it was a torn ACL or MCL or one of the CL's, I would have surgery, MAYBE spend the night in the hospital, then come home, get back to work and do therapy. Six weeks later would be fine. Hopefully the recovery from what I have is that quick, and will not require surgery. We'll see.

Welcome to the (at times not so much) wonderful world of ME, a big steaming pile of (take your pick of words, insert here). There are times I may (try to be) funny, there are times I'm sincere. Sometimes I end up being both without even trying. But you're here, so I hope I can keep you entertained enough to come back for more.
