So I've been looking to transfer to another job within my company. Been in discussion with the manager of this department for a while (before I even went on leave). Visited with the manager and she said that the job was almost available for me, just the position had to be approved by the heads of the company.
That meeting was this Friday, she said she'd tell me "as soon as she knew" ("knowing" could mean all i's and t's and paperwork prepped). It's Monday, haven't heard anything...
