I find this one to be ironically descriptive of my place of employment and not just species survival.
Food for thought...
Do I stay or do I go?
I'm open to change and progress and I think that my skills could be beneficial here or in other schools, as well, so I think that I should see what options are available to me.
My mind recalled the lyrics to a song which I've heard maybe twice, but never forgot:
There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind...
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend
Should I stay or should I go
If I go there will be trouble
If I stay it will be double.
The only constant in life is change. Michelle - your comment is so appropriate for my work situation right now - big changes since October, and not done yet. So many people have left.
Which is scarier - the change you willingly commit to, or the one that is out of your control?
