Work Conundrums

So I was thinking of the word conundrum and needed to double check that it is the correct word I'm thinking it is...the official definition:

conundrum Main Entry: co·nun·drum
Pronunciation: \kə-ˈnən-drəm\
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1645
1: a riddle whose answer is or involves a pun2 a: a question or problem having only a conjectural answer b: an intricate and difficult problem

I am so happy my thinking is correct...YAY! I'm using definition b:an intricate & difficult problem.

Yes, in regards to work, still I know...its such a big thing in life that it is overpowering all other thoughts I have...

So my new boss; who I could sit all day listening to, he comes from South Africa so has this cute accent and I die for accents. So my new boss informed me today that more than likely this SLC location will not be renewed. The lease is up in October & they are going to try to get an early release from it. That it doesn't make sense to have a huge facility for a repair shop and possibly 4 to 5 administrative people in the office. They will be looking for a location further south as 3 people live in Sandy & 1 in Draper, leaving myself the furthest North in Kaysville.

The dilemma I'm running into is my old boss has basically offered my a job with his company. My understanding is I'd be doing the same stuff I did before, be a whole lot busier, and its in NSL and he'd pay me more & basically give me what I want to work with him again!! Whereas if I stay within Minerals with new boss, I'd either have to commute to 106000 South area or move to Sandy...

It should be an easy decision but I have a hard time justifying selling my house & moving south for a job. Granted it'd be with the same company I've worked with for 10+ years, I'd be doing a little bit different type...more of an executive secretary I'm guessing. Still no idea what they pay increase would be or how busy I'd be. But I like my house, I like the neighborhood.

Oh the decision I have to make, at least they gave me 2 weeks to decide if I'd want to "relocate" as they're calling it. Any suggestions or thoughts that might help me decide would be more than welcome?

So Susan tagged me with a book tag. But before I get there I just wanted to say how cute hubby was on Sunday. We teach Nursery each Sunday ages 2+ and we have one little guy that hears his own tune no matter what we do to interact with him. This last Sunday he was hubby's friend for a good portion of it. It was just precious to see how he would sit on hubby's lap & hang onto his leg....Precious!! I truly wanted a camera then!!

Anywho, the tag rules are grab the nearest book to you, turn to page 123 and post the fifth sentence...so here goes, my first tag.

"A series of treasure hunters over two centuries dug at and around the depression, unearthing layers of wood, rock and coconut husks at regular levels."
The book is called Guide to the Worlds Greatest Treasures. We found one book out of a huge stack that had the title on the binder in a foreign language, I'd guess russian or somewhere near there just by how it looks, but its an interesting read.

I'm saying I'm tagging Michelle, Gramma Jean, Kimmie, and Angie...not sure how this works if I inform them or not so we'll see who does it.

Still waiting and more...

I wish I could have something new or profound to say, but sadly my friend boredom is still with me. I have incorporated a slow cleaning process of the office to rid it of items not used since we moved into it 2 years ago.

The wee news I have is I have been transferred to a different division. I still work in Salt Lake just have new bosses. Oh, my helper quit! Sadly I didnt hear it from her, but from her Da the day before her last day. I know really stupid, but oh well.

My new bosses are pretty cool, sadly I rarely see them and the work is still being figured out as to who does what and which division is in charge of things. So I'm still considering myself a mushroom and chairweight, as I sit in a chair for the majority of the day.

I'm trying to keep my patience with work as I don't know what will be happening with it or how long I should give this restructuring. Trying to understand the reorganizing has befuddled my mind so I try to last the week and sing praises for when the weekend arrives...a blessed break in the monotony of my daily work.

I keep trying to get hubby to share the writing duties of this blog but he tells me its "my thing" and why should he take that joy away from me. Somehow I keep hoping that he'll take it over and share the mysteries that are trapped in his mind.

This last weekend we did get to see my family which was so much fun!! I truly had a glorious sunday being able to visit with family! I had such joy seeing my Uncle from the sunny world of California make it to town. It is a rarity that we see the Cali-clan yet they are so much fun. Parts of me are so sad that we don't get together with the whole clan as often, or that I don't take the time to visit my cousins as often as I should. We used to be so close when we were little kids, but I know as time goes by we each go our own way. I just have a hope that we are able to keep the togetherness with each other. But enough of my ramblings as I did not intend to write this much. Sometimes ramblings are good, other times its a mystery if anyone can make sense of what my mind does.
