There are two weeks left until the end of the month, which means there are two weeks left on the team that I’m on. After that point, I’m going to be moved to a different project to do something totally new. Yeah, sure, I’m excited. Still, the fear of the unknown is messing with my head. Ah, but that’s still a while from now and not what this post is about. For now I’m just sort of reflecting on how the time between now and then is going to be awkward. I’m the last full-time employee on the project, however there’s a colleague that will remain on for a few more months. He’s still going at full velocity while I’ve sort of been cruising. It makes sense because I can’t really be taking on full projects at this point. Still, the imbalance sort of results in me feeling like I’m rather useless. The client side people haven’t really been putting much pressure on me, and that’s great, but the fact that I’m now out of the loop takes some getting used to. At all that to the fact that I have no project manager. Everything just feels very loose. I’m just floating on by, know what I mean?
On some level, I kind of think that if everything were to be pulled off like a band-aid (in one swift movement) it would all be easier to deal with. However, no, this is just a slow burn that’s been going on for many months. It’s tough. My only comfort at this point is that idea that things will be over very soon. Then I’ll be dealing with the a whole new set of problems. At least it’d be a new challenge, right? Man….
