Sounds like he considers you to be easily replaced...pretty typical in todays world. Are your girls excited about the move???

My old boss told me they had been trying to get me xfer'd back into that group... but the current director I'm under wouldn't budge. They seemed to enjoy just keeping me as a square peg in a round hole, and beating me down a little more each day.

I'm somewhat specialized in my tech skills... and nobody teaches a lot of the stuff I know any more. Lots of places are in need of that skill right now, so they may have a tough time finding someone once I'm gone. Not my worry though.

Girls are pretty excited. The 14 yr old may be joining me as the high school down there has so much more to offer. Oldest is a little bummed she didn't have some of those opportunities, but she is content to stay here with mom and finish her senior year.

Glad to hear the youngest is looking forward to the move Rob. I can understand the oldest not wanting to go since she is in her senior year.

Good to be in demand...specialized skill sets never hurt.

Hopefully things work out best for the girls...I thought your oldest had graduated already.

One more year. I really tried to stick it out, but there just was no way to keep going in my current job. The oldest and her mom get along pretty well for the most part thankfully.

Going to be hard for the girls to be separated after being together so many years. Hopefully the oldest doesn't become like her mom
