Waiting

Okay, right now at work:
-My boss is retiring at the end of April.  They've done the interviews for her replacement and as of last Monday, they'd started the reference checks and salary work.  No announcement yet.

-Our grad admissions coordinator gave her notice (she's moving out of state).  Her last day is April 16th.

-We haven't had a permanent receptionist since August 2011.  Knock wood, our temp in that position is moving on this week.

-My position is being shifted, eventually, from my department to a remote office, whether I want it or not.

-Yesterday, at a meeting, another manager voiced what I had been thinking.  Despite the fact that I was never presented with and never had to sign the agreement saying I wouldn't leave for two years, as part of my counter-offer, if I do leave before those two years are up, I'm never coming back.  So I'm in a position of "what if I don't get an interview/offer? and how do I say no and how do I say yes, if I do?"

-So we have multiple open positions, no idea when anyone is going to fill the big one and no idea when the new boss will fill the smaller ones. 

I quit.
