					<description>I'm still working out my old job's 30 day notice requirement for Directors.  There is so much to do to tidy up loose ends and leave a fresh start for the person who inherits my shoes/chair.  I wish I could just walk away, but my heart won't let me.  I need to leave my team in a tidy and ready to go position so they don't have to face what I did and that's recreating everything from scratch.  It's a bit overwhelming, and I've had quite a few panic attacks that there's no way to do it.  This weekend and yesterday and today have been challenging and tearful. 

There's a good chance that we'll be descended upon by the accreditation surveyors next week.  I'm praying they aren't coming here, please pray with me.  I'm not sure I can face the stress and possible failure that will come of it.  Because of the aweful politics going on this past year many essential things didn't happen as they should have.  I got blown off reminding the "O's" that politics or not, the nuts and bolts still must be kept tight.  Did they listen?  Not often enough!  And now there's no time to get this year's work on the books before they come so they won't go looking for work that while done, never got appropriately reported up the chain.  I got handed new project after new project and then burried under bullshit make work action plans to improve things we already do better than anyone else in our division.  

I leave this job two weeks from today, and start my new one on St Patty's day.  Auspicious dontcha think?  I'll have 5 days of R&#038;R, I hope it's enough.  

Before I leave though, next Friday, I have to present 5, 10 and 20 year service awards to members of my team.  It's going to be hard.  I'm really going to miss them.

Fear of the unknown, and loss of a great team ... potent fodder for worry...  that plus what I still have to do has me needing cuddles and lovey doveys from my kitties more than ever.

Skrappy's a snuggler of the very best kind just like kitty monster was, and minitoes is.  He sure is a cutie, and he's smart .... too smart for me.  LOLOLOLOL</description>

					<description>Patty, nice name, Skrapskallion, I suspect he'll live up to it. ;)
I too would like to know how your new job is going, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit tiring. Chuckle. :)
I was beginning to wonder if you had misplaced chapter Nine of Winter Wonders. :(
Thanks for the pics.
Love and warm hugs,
 :) :) :)

					<description>Ohh...what a pretty boy.  I can't believe that angelic-looking creature could deserve to be Skrapskallion.     You'll have to post some picture of him awake and in mischief to prove it!  
Hope everything is good  on your end.  (When you have the time, you'll have to give us the update on how the new job is working out.)</description>
