Life Uprooted

Johan
I'll begin with the pig since he takes up the biggest part of my day lately. He had his follow up today and whilst he seems to be OK, his sutures healed around some crust so there is still an opening and so I have to give him three oral medications and apply an ointment twice a day. We are hoping that the socket will drain and heal up naturally. In the mean time, whilst giving him his medications, I have to keep a hover mother eye on him to make sure there isn't some god awful puss forming, in which case, the vet will have to open it up and close it again. Awesome.

Work
I applied for a job and got it. This job is within my company and will transfer me to our Texas office. The position is something I'm really looking forward to and one that is closer to what I'd like to do (technical writing). The location isn't ideal but then, you can't have everything.

I accepted the job last week and so everyone in my present office knows about it. There was even a "transitional meeting" phone call last week. The tentative date of my transition was March 25, which would allow two weeks notice.

Today it was determined that the transition date has been moved to March 18th due to a pay period issue.

This means I need to fly to Texas this coming Sunday. This also means one week to prepare my non-existent replacement and train them on everything there is to do with my present position, which no one else knows.

I have to pack up, fly to Texas, find a new place, organize movers, and so on and so forth. I am extremely overwhelmed and feel like the biggest of all sissies ever.
