I think there has been a little note of worrying on the unit for about a week now. When Janet puts up a sign that says there's going to be a mini-meeting and everyone is encouraged to be there because there are going to be some changes on our unit- we get a little nervous.
The good news is- she not leaving. Because of the awsome person that she is, the higer ups have decided that she would be the best person to establish a new position as the neuro surgeon lieason. This will most likely end up being a part of her position here as the manager of the fourth floor. Getting this position up and running will take some serious commitment of time- so she is taking a leave of absence from us to focus on this. Janet says we should think of it as a type of "maternity leave"--Joe will take over for six months, and then she'll be back!
We asked the important questions:
1)Will your office still be your office?
No- this is so that the transistion will be smoother
2)Will you still be around?
"I'll probably be here more than I want to be." :)
3)Will you still be at the monthly lunches :)?
Yes
Good luck Janet- not that you'll need it!!! :)
