An early Christmas present?

Been another 'interesting' week at work. The new head of department is settling in - and a couple of the other senior staff have resigned.

Fortunately the two aren't linked - one is going to a better job and the other is retiring - but the fact remains that in a couple of months I will be the only senior member of the department who was in place 6 months earlier.

The good news is that a promotion opportunity has opened up. The bad is I'll be under more pressure should I get it - a tricky dilemma.

In the end I've applied for the promotion - but it's not in the circumstances I'd have liked. Interview will be in a couple of weeks and I'll know by Christmas.

It could be a case of be careful what you wish for...
