Fish Bowl

I feel like I'm in a fish bowl at the moment, swimming around and the only place I'm going is in a circle.

My new position at work is giving me everything I wanted out of it -- more work. Which I can't complain about since that is exactly what I was seeking. I think life would be going much more smoothly at the moment if my coworker that has been here for almost 10 years hadn't decided that he wanted to make a huge direction change in his life and put in his notice with the company. I feel like the added stress of knowing I can't knock on our shared wall whenever I had a question about something will be gone on April 22nd is weighing heavily on the already stressful task of learning a new job. All I can do is take it one task at a time.
