I may be taking a walk from my job. I'm watching as people maneuver around me, little shifts here, different emphasis there, attempts to deflect me and general evasiveness from co-workers. My innate paranoia knew things were too good to be true, but this goes beyond that: I'm very good at recognizing patterns in events. When OTHER people around me start commenting on the pattern I know there's a problem coming.

I thought I'd left this kind of sh!tstorm behind me when I stroked out of PG. I'm not happy, not at all. Up until recently, I liked my job *and* my boss, which I know is a rarity in the workforce. But if what I'm seeing coming actually materializes, it'll take the parts of the job that I like away from me *AND* be a betrayal from my boss. The entire situation has been caused by a particularly obsessive co-worker who's going to get it in the teeth if I'm pushed out of handling the A/V gear. I'm angry, I'm blue, I'm feeling particularly paranoid...

... and others see the pattern too, which means I'm not imagining things. I'm going to go back to seething, now.

That kind of destructive politicking is really frustrating. Good luck fixing it or finding another job.

If the pattern I'm seeing is accurate, the only real option is to walk away. No amount of screaming/kicking/begging/plotting will restore my duties. There are really only two questions here, with the second dependant on the first:

1, IS what I see as a pattern accurate with the foretold results?
2. Can I walk away gracefully?

Thanks, love. I know you have job woes yourself. I keep hoping yours will turn around.

OH! I passed the Knitted Knockers site on to another person I know that knits. What little bit of crafting ability I was given seems to lie in the path of cross-stitch; knitting needles are worrying to me in a vaguely ominous manner.

Will be keeping good thoughts for you, dear. I know, in a way, how you feel.

My last job ended when the office computer was confiscated, and they were on their way up to the office to fire me for looking at/writing pornography on company time. After setting me up to screw up a job by 'misplacing' my bucket van. The only thing I could do was turn my phone and credit card into a manager who was sympathetic(or so I thought). Then a week later was accused of defrauding the company of $500 on said card.
On the day AFTER I turned the card in.
...for a DIET PROGRAM.

If its gonna happen, its gonna happen. Just keep your jaw clenched and Advil on hand. I'll be praying hard for peaceful resolution for you.

I passed this on to my mom who /does/ knit all the time. She'd love it. :)

*hugs* Thanks, love. I've run into that kind of credit card bs; I had to deal with an attempted identity theft a couple years back. And you've seen just how wonderful my coping skills are. :/

You guys need to come visit so I can show off the trailer. Well, the parts that're unpacked, anyway. :p
