Part time starting to look likely

I spoke to Darrell the manager where I work now, and he seems on board. He asked if I could wait until July, which was my plan anyway, so I agreed. They have some hiring tickets and hope to have at least one person by then. It still has to go through HR, and the request for their approval will not happen until nearer July. And Darrell's boss is away on vacation so it still could get the kibosh, but at least it is leaning in the right direction. Then I looked at the U of A website for jobs and found the perfect one, half time, pay was alright, it closes on the 16th. So maybe I will think about that. I did not say that if I could not go part time I would be quitting, but that too is an option if anyone up from Darrell says no.

whoooo! yay, Judith, for taking things in hand!

We can talk about the UA this Saturday a bit, maybe? I will say that morale's a bit heavy these days in some areas due to suspicion of administration and cutbacks. Maybe no more heavy than IBM -- but there is also an academic / non-academic staff divide that I find depressing, which might be tough, -- again depending on the dept. We should talk more about it!

Google seems to have had a problem, and had to rebuild everything.
