Sometimes, change is a good thing.

Prior to my vacation for the holidays, I was informed that my department in the university is moving from the building we have currently resided in for four years to a different building on campus. My boss man would no longer be my boss man, and I would no longer be able to walk around this huge plant that I have worked in for five and a half years.

There are many things I like about working in this giant building:
1. I can roam the long hallways.
2. everyone knows me, says hi to me, and most of the time stops to have an actual conversation with me.
3. I have many friends here, many older women who are my adopted mothers and older men who are my adopted fathers.

However, there are people here I will not miss, like my old boss, the IT guy, and a few other male students who constantly come into my office and hit on me.

Today, my two women bosses that I work with currently met with our new main boss lady. I have worked for one woman before, and she was the devil. I hate her. She treats me poorly still. But now I wont ever have to see her again. At least not everyday.

The whole interesting thing about this, is that I have heard good things and bad things about my new department/building/boss woman. But, upon meeting her today, she seems very lovely. And from what the two women said after their meeting today that she seems very nice, very approachable, and willing to work with us so that we don't have to change what we do. I actually feel good about this change. There is one downfall, which isn't even that big of a deal, but I wont have my own cubical. Which really isn't that HUGE, but I have grown accustom to having privacy. And now I wont have any. And while I will still report to my current boss, I can now be used for anyone in the office... which isn't that bad. I mean, it will make the day go by quicker.

L went and saw my mother the other day, and told her that it is going to be hard and suck not having me in the office anymore. She is really bummed about it. But I think it is a good thing. In a way, it's the universe saying I need to distance myself and move on. This is a good change, and I am actually very excited about it. I think the distance between L and I will be beneficial. I don't know how, but it will reveal itself in time. It's all about a slow process, and I am trying my best to be patient and let the universe deal with me on its own instead of pushing it and making it do stupid things.

S and I wont see much of each other either. Granted, we don't really see each other or talk that much. But, if we are meant to be friends, this will only help it.

Here is to being optimistic about a change, for once in my life.
