Last week, I was chatting with my boss and sharing some personal constraints on my time that I was feeling, and she said that I really needed to read the book "Boundaries", and my other co-worker (who is working mother like my boss is) nodded enthusiastically. I replied that I had been given that suggestion before, but had never checked it out. So a few days later she hands me the book and the workbook and tells me she couldn't find her copy, so she checked it out of her church library for me. How cool is that?? Not just that she was invested in my personal well-being, but the fact that she and some of my other co-workers in our department are Christians and feel comfortable asking for prayers from each other if we're having personal issues.
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to read through it quickly now, as we got word today that they're going to eliminate her position and she'll be transitioning out in a couple of weeks. We are all taking this news very hard, and I'm really hoping she's able to land on her feet quickly. Not to mention that this will have a direct effect on my own job, and who knows what else will happen in the short or long term. I'm allowing myself to be sad and mope about it this evening, but it will be time soon enough to move forward...
