too many things are closed these days. especially office doors.

something is afoot at the office and i've not yet been able to find out all the details. what i do know is there will soon be a relatively bloodless coup: the ceo will remain as president but will step down as ceo, the cto will take over as the interim ceo and the acronymless former director of development has suddenly come back from sabbatical to plot and plan with the leaders of the revolution.

i am most assuredly not a member of the revolution.

there is no doubt mistakes have been made in the general management of the company, but they've not all been made by the ceo. and quite a bit of the problem with our company at the moment has nothing to do with management and everything to do with the economy. unfortunately, those wanting change need to blame someone and so out goes the ceo.

they've grossly underestimated the rest of us. most of us are here because of the ceo. and most of us absolutely loathe the director of development. the cto, while an okay person most of the time, has no experience running a company and hasn't shown an iota of initiative in the past six months; he's done nothing to try and get us out of our slump, hasn't brought in a single contract, has spent most mornings moping around the office and coming onto the executive assistant. not the kind of man i want to follow.

i'm thinking about quitting. but the sad fact of the matter is this: the economy sucketh the big red dog. i can go back to the little company that could, but maybe not immediately; they're a little sluggish these days as well. but they love me, and will make a place for me as soon as they are able, should i ask them to do so.

the second fact is the ceo is a very good friend. and he owns over 50% of the company. so even if he is not the ceo, i still feel a moral obligation to make this company work, for him and for his investment.

the selfish third fact? i have over three weeks of vacation accrued, and if i leave, i don't get paid for it. so if i decide i can't work for/with the new regime, i think i will take a long vacation and then come back and give my notice.

even thinking about doing that makes me feel a little skanky.

no scenario i can come up with tonight makes me feel happy.

i want to feel happy.
