Confusion, Relief and My Finger and My Thumb in the Shape of an "L" on My Forehead

I've already mentioned that I like my boss. She's fun and friendly. She seems to like me and she never rides my ass. We just took a fabulous trip to San Francisco with our husbands, mixing two days of real work with two days of travelling and hanging out.

She was fired yesterday. I got a bonus and she got canned.

I didn't understand. I felt like I was going to puke. I felt like I could be next.

Today I met with my new supervisor--the director of our association. I'm not going to be fired. In fact, I have new, better dental insurance. I also have a clean slate. Any work issues are going to be blamed on my former boss.

I am however going to step up my search for a new job. While I have a good job, I'd like to make more money (No. 27)--and the person I particularly liked is no longer here. I applied for a job on Monday that might be perfect. Except that I emailed my cover letter, resume and writing sample with the subject line "Applicatin for Project Manager." If I were hiring for a communications job, I might not even bother to read further. I'm a Loser.
