Careers are annoying

So I was working on one of the applications I maintain the other day - the company job bank - and I noticed a job in the company that I'd love to have. I'm not completely overjoyed at the moment with my own career situation, so I decided that I'd give it a go and apply for the position. Now, in order to do so, I have to let my supervisor know that I'm looking to get hired into another department. They took it fabulously...but I keep getting this sinking feeling that my department is putting the strong arm on the other department not to hire me since I've done a pretty good job of making myself pretty darn important in my current position. Its not that things will completely fall apart if I leave, but there will be these large holes in the group's knowledge when it comes to how certain things work. And of course, they'll have to find someone else to deal with my insufferable clients.

So at the moment, I'm hoping for the best - that I can move on to something that I find more fun and attractive, while also hoping there's no collusion behind the scenes to keep me chained to the grindstone of my current position. That wouldn't happen, now, would it?

Maybe its time to just quit everything and open that bar...
