Grum in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Certainly trying to stay positive and hopeful.

I sent my new boss an e-mail asking for specifics… like… when would be best for me to start, how to take care of Tax forms, where would my office be… things like that.

I received a one sentence reply: The first day you arrive for work, you should stop in the Auditor’s office to sign the W-4 form and whatever else they require.

I understand that change will always create apprehension. Wife and I are working on all of the Domestic Transition items but.... the job itself certainly makes me nervous. But that is only because my boss seems so… well, disinterested. Perhaps it is a personality clash. I would appreciate a response like : “First day of work, April 4. Go to Court House and speak with Auditor. When done there, call me. We’ll do lunch and discuss the next steps.”
That seems… simple and still allows for a sense of “Play it by ear.” Frankly, I don’t know how this woman has been a lawyer so long with such… lack of strength… in her words.

It certainly makes me nervous. I know she has no interest in training, which is bad enough. But… things like… where is my office… how will cases be assigned… WHERE DO I GO… WHEN DO I START.......... these are things I figured would at least merit a response.
