Bad News

I mentioned in my last post that I received some bad news at work. My supervisor, who I adore, accepted a new position in another city. It's a hybrid role where she'll be closer to family and where she can grow more, so of course I'm happy for her. But selfishly, it's going to be a difficult adjustment. Her last day was on Friday, and I feel like her last two weeks with us flew by. She's the one who hired me, and she has believed in my capabilities since day one. I'm not exaggerating when I say that she's the best boss I've ever had, and that's largely because she led in a way that felt so very human. She valued work-life balance, she was always ready with a joke or a good story, and she never micromanaged or put unrealistic expectations on me, while recognizing what I could and did accomplish. She also served as an anchor for me with the rest of the team. I'm a pretty introverted person, and it's hard for me to make friends, especially in a remote role where I don't see people…
