So what's happened since then anyway?

So allow me to recount last week for you:

1) I told my supervisor I was unhappy and wanted to quit. He supported me.

2) He brought it up with the powers that be.

3) One of the powers that be (the son of the psychiatrist) ambushed me with no warning and asked to have a meeting where he asked me why I wanted to leave and what was so terrible about his father that made everyone want to leave. He wanted me to stay because they liked me.

4) Later that day, I was ambushed a second time and forced to tell the psychiatrist that I wanted to leave and why. I do not do well with ambush situations, especially twice in one day. I got a little choked up because I was so angry.  To them, it did not look like anger, but bitter desperation to leave.

5) The next day I was called into a meeting with the Other power that be who is a thousand times more reasonable and a very calming presence. He told me that they would be changing my job a little because it wasn't a very clear job description anyway.  I left feeling I was tricked back into my job.

6) The next day I was called back into a meeting with the Other power that be, and we walked through what my job would be and what my day would look like.  Minimizing my time chasing after the psychiatrist and maximizing being actually productive, without being overloaded with absurd projects.  My day will be segmented so my time can be the most productive. 

7) This week is the first week it was put into action, and it went alright so far.  I have been told that the Other power that be is collaborating with a few of the therapists to find some special projects I can work on and someone mentioned something about getting me certified to be an add coach or a life coach. 

We will see how it all turns up.
