Gina and I revealed our intentions to our bosses today. It went pretty much as expected. They were both happy for us. Gina was very happy with the reaction of her boss although I don't know the intimate details of how it went down. Mine, particularly, did his best to hide his background thinking while talking to me. He did a really good job. I've been there before. As a boss facing this position myself in the past, I understand. You are happy for the individual, but all the while mission thinking kicks in and you begin wondering how to progress from here even as you're absorbing it all. My co-boss (of sorts) went through physical manifestations almost akin to the grieving process. It was a little comical and at the end of the day, after much deliberation on how to manage the mess, he too smiled and congratulated me.
It's odd the things you think about as you change your life path and work those steps to reality. I've got a while to go and I'm already thinking how much I'll miss the job and the people. Just yesterday, I was thinking how much I was ready to go. And, really, I am ready.
