I want her to stay

She emailed me to tell me that I need to get someone to cover the DR exercise, as she will not around to help. She said her last day would be 29-Sept.

When I looked at the leave chart, she had booked leaves from 30-Sept to Oct prior before telling me that she is leaving. I told the PM that I will talk to her, persuade her to stay, but I think it's tough.

I really want her to stay, after 2 years working together, there's already some kind of bond between us, really don't know what it's like without her around. I really like her, I did told her before in a casual way, that I like her, but she thought I was joking. I don't think the feelings is mutual, after all, she has a BF who is working in Oz, maybe he's coming back for her soon...what should I do???

What is she thinking?

She told me that she wants to leave the team by end Sept, either out of the company or transfer to another group, maybe sales. I asked her why? No reason, she didn't find a new job, but has plan to travel overseas with her parents to...HK after the job change.

I don't know what's in her mind, I think she is really fed up with the others, esp. the DBA, who has been treating her quite badly. Just the other day, the DBA wrote an email complaining about some people in the team coming to work late in the morning, obviously, she was one of the "pin-pointed" one. Yes, she was unhappy.

I really don't understand why can't people work well with each other, so much office politics and unhappiness, I think I getting tired of all these, I want to leave this job, but what should I do next?

Late at night

It's late at night, 3:16am in the morning.

Why am I still up? Don't I want to sleep? Go fighting with the Zzz... monster? I want to sleep, but I can't, I'm troubleshooting a problem, work issue.

Just couldn't figure out what's the problem, no matter what, just can't re-start up that PS App server, it's complaining about some handlers issue. I suspect it's due to the network ports being used by other processes, but this shouldn't be happening, it has been running fine for the last 5 years.

Well, carry on, keep figuring out how to solve...
