Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you are.

Women in the work place. Why is it that this is so obsurd in this day and age? I mean really. I guess I let my ambition get in the way. I am hot to trot and want the career ladder to fall my way everytime. I worked hard for two degrees, and worked hard to get where I am.
We are having some major changes in our office. Change is good, but can always be edgy. I've recently found out that I will be moving out of my shared office with individuals that coworkers of the same title to share an office with two new employees. Okay, I'm the only supervisor that is making this move. At first I wasn't miffed til' I figured out what was going on. Now all I can say is that I stewed over this all night. Why do we as women turn to that side of our brain that ignores logic after playing out the scenario in your head a 100 different ways? Where is that woman of reason when our hearts override our sensibility? Case being, I tossed and turned on this all night long. So I asked the boss this morning why I was the only supervisor that was being moved into an office with personnel not equal to myself. He said because he felt that my new employees were going to eeed some hand-holding. I feel good that they have the faith in me to bring on two new employees solely under my direction, but just that I feel I will be alienated from my peers.
I'm trying to be a team player so I tried to display my concerns with being housed in an office with two employees below me. Now if I was to be asked solely if I didn't want to move, I would not cause waves...I was just curious of what the future plans were and if my move was permanent. I don't feel that I can complain and balk too much after all, I am a female and I don't want to pegged as being "difficult" or "bitchy".
