Stages of Grief
Sep. 28th, 2005 03:08 pmI finally figured out what's happening in my head with this job change. I'm going through the five stages of grief. (c.f. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, "On Death and Dying") Really. At first it was denial, that whole "This isn't really happening" shtick. Then there was anger. Lots and lots of anger. I haven't been this angry since it sank in that Trish had really left the kids and me.
This week, I'm at the bargaining stage. Only in my head of course since I haven't seen the guy responsible for my transfer since last friday. Besides, they don't seem to make deals, so no amount of begging and promising to be a good boy and work extra hard is going to send me back where I belong. In fact, the stages are overlapping since I still have quite a bit of anger and already am into the early stages of depression. Maybe this fast forward will get me to and through the acceptance stage in another week or two.
And then, of course, I die. Or whatever. But I still need a new car.
