Boss in Denial.
I've been working at my agency for 5 years. I started there as an intern and stayed on. I am very grateful for the opportunities and growth I have had there. I'm ready to move on and try something new in my career. I took a part time position in another department at the same agency. When I told my boss I would be interviewing for the position she was originally very supportive. The next day she joked with me that she was up all night fretting about me leaving and stated "That f**ing *** can't leave!"
I accepted the position and will be split between 2 positions 20/20 until the fall. Since then my boss has not acknowledged the change. I know I will be around for quite some time so I am not expecting any ceremony but she has been weird in her interactions with me. I talked with her about switching offices as others may want mine and I can have a smaller space as I will only be there part of the time and she ignored the conversation and moved on to a different topic. I sent her my new schedule and asked if it was acceptable, never heard back. There was no mention that my last week of full time in the department last week.
I guess my question is, do I address this with her? Or just slowly leave the department and carry on as normal?
Other info in my mind: A colleague of mine that left the department 2 years ago had a similar experience. After talking with my boss on 3 separate occasions about her leaving the department for another position at the agency my colleague was scolded by our boss's boss because my boss denied knowing anything about her leaving.
Re: Boss in Denial.
I have more questions than advice at this point:
Does your new boss know about this current boss and how she reacts in these kinds of situations?
Does your current boss's boss know that the change is happening?
Do you have an official offer letter detailing how this is going down?
It sounds like she doesn't know how to handle these sorts of situations. But IMO as long as you have the whole transition documented, and everyone has the heads up, you can just keep on keeping on until the fall.

Everything was an internal transfer. My boss actually had to fill out transfer paperwork so everything is documented. I know my new boss and old boss had a discussion about my transfer as well. I don't think my new boss really understands how my old boss reacts however. My current boss's boss does know of the change. My old boss did inform me that she let her know, It seems that my boss's boss is concerned for the department because I am leaving (I took on a lot of different responsibilities that may either be re-assigned or placed back onto my boss). I guess this could be why she is avoiding the topic as well, more is expected of her because of my leaving.
I think I'm fine from a professional transfer standpoint I guess on a more relationship level it has been very strange.
If nothing else, I think I'd start documenting things. You haven't heard back about your schedule? I'd email her and send a copy to yourself where you address it. " gave you my new schedule on ___. As I haven't heard from you in regards to it, I'm assuming it works for you" (or something to that effect).
But have SOME kind of trail where you can prove what you've done to keep her up to date.

this sounds like a good idea. i'd probably be communicating with as many people as would be reasonable to include in the loop without it seeming like you're going over her head, too. that way, nobody will be surprised about anything at any point.
that doesn't help the relational aspect of the problem, though. that's just weird.
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

cott and Magic Johnson both adversity broken hamstrings during the 1989 NBA Finals, with Scott affliction his afore Bold 1 and Johnson during Bold 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
