So, I've had two interviews, now and an informal job offer from another office within my current organization. Very exciting!

Also well-timed because apparently yet another one of my co-workers has been forbidden to speak to me. I really have no idea why. He replaced me when they reorganized our division and I helped train him, have continued to answer questions and encourage him. But...now he's too paranoid to talk to me without closing his office door (my old office door...*sniffle*) and checking to see who's around. They're preying on his timidity and basically blaming him for hating the job he wasn't hired to do. Nice, eh?

So...I'm anxiously awaiting my offer letter. I should be more relieved, only I'm waiting to find out what my salary offer will be. This new office stated that I would probably suffer a pay cut. I'm OK with this, to a point: I can't take more than $10,000 less than I'm currently earning. If their offer is over that, I'll have to decline, unfortunately. I really hope it doesn't come to that - I'm having a hard time being here as it is...the disappointment would be too much.

The new job, on the bright side, seems to have everything else I want: nice people; a tight-knit group of adults (who act like adults - amazing!) who spread the work out in way that makes sense; relaxed policies (I can take a 35 minute lunch break without catching shit for the extra 5 minutes); and, in general, this new office's goals are more in line with my own.

I really hope this works out.
