I should be asleep. It’s icing outside, and I dare not share the road tomorrow with hundreds of people that have no business being on the road when it’s icing. I’m shooting for leaving the house super early. Or not at all. [ETA (5:54 AM) I tried, I really did, but it's just too icy. I had trouble getting out of the apartment complex, for crying out

You guys were SMART to just go back and park yourself. It's much better to be safe than try to rush to work.

At least you didn't end up like these guys:

Dude! Wow!

I usually pride myself being able to drive in wintry weather, but I'm also capable of assessing my chances of making it to work safely.

[firelily]

Yes, completely. At least you have the good sense to not try something you know is unsafe!

Ooo, also, I read the 2nd part after I'd already commented. But congrats about them thinking you'd be a good co-manager!!! :D Good luck! I hope they're ready to give you an interview soon.

[chicksrus]

It sounds really good, no? I hope my manager is ready to let me go. I know he agreed with me on my plans, but he's also one of those people who has a hard time accepting change. And I'd really like to start the program in early summer, and I told him that. I just don't want him to wait too long to recommend me to the right people.

I know, that kind of thing is really hard. Because you don't want to nag him about it, but it would drive me crazy not knowing whether he had said anything yet. So I'd probably wait a few weeks and then ask him if he hasn't said anything yet. But I don't know how he would react to that...some people are really sensitive if they think they're being "nagged" about something. I hope he won't take it like that! Hopefully he'll have enough time to work up to the idea of you leaving. If you don't want to go til the summer, he has more than enough time to get used to the idea of change...

The word has to first get to his district superior. So I could always go to my district superior who has nothing to do with him, really, but who will be undoubtedly involved in the process at some point.
I'd really hate for this to be dragged out and the program to fill up before I get a chance. I don't think it's wise to go through the program during a time that I would also have to support Patrick's school and home work. I would have to wait until the next summer. It's a 17 week long process, and I would have to be out of town four times for a week at the time.
