that's my new official title at work now. now that i'm leaving! for whatever reason, the flood gates opened yesterday with the "official" e-mail from the COO that i had resigned. and everyone is sad and mad at me. one of the women that i idolize and respect the most was one of the first ones in my office after the announcement and her first words to me were "you're a stinkerbutt".

then today, word has spread about my pregnancy - how i don't know. but, everyone is really excited about that and wishes hubbin and i the best - and i love them for that.

bad news is, is that my immediate boss - aka evil boss or when i'm in a good mood miss sassy pants (MSP), is totally ignoring me. and neither her or the COO have asked me what my reasons are for leaving. i think they are just assuming that i'm leaving because i'm pregnant. god i love saying that!

i'm pregnant.
i'm pregnant.
i'm pregnant.

but i digress.

in a very small part - about 20% for the math geeks, i am leaving because i'm pregnant. because it took me four fucking years to get here and i'm not going to spend one moment of it, one second of it miserible and wishing i were in a different place. but the larger part of my decision was made because of evil boss.

and just now the accounting manager - whom i love - came in and told me that i need to sit down with the COO and tell him how i feel about current management. because, and she said this, swear to god, other people know she's not the right person for the job. so what do i have to lose? i'm on my way out, why not give her up to the big man?

and even though she bugs the crap out of me, i don't feel right narking on her to the boss. but something needs to be done. hubbin would tell me to stay and fight the fight and when i gently remind him that he is my baby's daddy, he calms down a bit. see, evil boss bugs the crap out of him too.

the thing is, is that i don't see things changing here - they aren't going to let evil boss go, i mean, they might demote her, but that's not going to help the toxicity of the place either. she's not going to leave. and even if they send her to super managing school, which i doubt they would, she has such a narrow vision of things, they it would just be the case of some bitch with a fancy education behind her.

it boils down the this, she doesn't like me and she doesn't respect me and it's obvious. so i'm leaving. becuase at thirty-whatever, i have learned that you can't make people like you and you can't make people respect you. actions speak louder that words, which is why i'm making my exit.
