new work duties

well, i think today i got hit with a bit of a bomb: behold my stress level and my work level going up by a many points! so - i've been really pretty busy at work lately: i do my own job of keeping up with the bills and accounting, while helping claudia with the secretary stuff. super duper. i have my moments of troubleshooting genius on occasion, so my newer co-workers, the 2 housing counselors with large amounts of people coming in have decided that i can be their bitch too, so i help them out as well. i sign leases, i help plan the student run, i teach them how to do their jobs, and latley i spend many hours troubleshooting issues with Time Warner for the 30 or so accounts that i also manage while helping to coordinate the delivery of furniture from Nebraska Furniture Mart. i was balancing all of that quite well until news of the upcoming deployment and hopefully a move gave me more to think about. how much will it suck to be here alone? can i hold down the fort at home by myself? how the hell am i going to decide what to pack and what not to pack? can i pay bills and save enough money for the inevitable period of unemployment in washington? so many questions... well ok, so today, as i was pondering which days i will use my 80 vacation hours on while charles is on leave before he goes over there, we were all called into a meeting. my boss, the greatest boss in the world, has turned in her 2 weeks notice. this i knew. naturally the whole office was abuzz with theories of who would replace her. low and behold, it's by good ol' buddy: denise. denise the marketing director with questionable morals who is the teacher's pet. ok, that's all fine and well. she is an extremely competent marketing director, and her position as "TEMPORARY" replacement might not be too bad, but how will she handle being marketing director AND assistant community manager, you ask? me. i was held after the meeting to find out that i will become the "assistant marketing director" while she fills in until another person can be found.
i find myself torn. on one hand, it will be nice to have plenty of work to keep me occupied. on the other: WHAT?! i'm WHAT!? and if there was a 3rd, more calm and serene hand to be had, it would hold a very flashy resume which bears MANY titles aquired over the last several months, to which "assitant marketing director" may now be added.
it's been a long time since i had so many balls to juggle, and that's fine. i just wish one of them didnt mean giving up my husband for a year and juggling the rest of them by myself.
