Another serving of decision making anyone?
I can’t believe I didn’t mention this, but I’m leaving on 1st March next year to head on a three week holiday before landing in New York and start my new life. I guess I’ve told individual ppl about the earlier departure date, but its actually been hard to tell ppl. Sure, leaving on March 1 rather than April 1 makes sense on several fronts- the way things are with work, the visa, Michele’s work in NY etc. But it is still difficult.
Now that the plane tickets have been bought, its finalised. I’ll just have to start preparing myself mentally for it.
Actually, this morning in our fortnightly team meeting, the head of our department (my manager’s manager) casually mentioned that she might like to extend my contract for another month, which will bring it to 25th Feb. The reason being that one of the girls on our team has been sick lately and been taking a bit of time off, so Mary thought it might be good for her to take a full month’s medical leave and get some intensive treatment so she can get herself fixed up once and for all. This will mean that we are going to be a team member down during our busiest period.
I don’t know if I’d want to extend and leave myself barely anytime to get ready for the move to NY… and I don’t think I’m going to think about it until Mary actually makes me that offer. On some level, I don’t actually want Mary to offer, cos I don’t want to have to make another decision. I think I’ve had to make more life changing decisions in the last coupla months than I’ve had to in all my life!! Is that what they call “growing up”?

wow, i think this is the first time i heard of the march 1st departure, oh well, so long as you will still stop by hk and catch up again!
on the job front, it might not be a bad idea to take the offer if it's presented to you. it's probably the best thing to take the edge off the going abroad thing plus it's about time to start getting used to juggling a billion things at once like all insane new yorkers i know do :)
wow this is getting real isn't it?
