Thanks, Hootie
I have been looking for work pretty much constantly for the past several months. Hardly anyone is hiring in my field (software engineering) right now. This job I have is administrative work, and I've been doing it part-time while looking for work in my field, working on a certification, and working on setting up my own business.
It's ultimately her decision whether to replace me, but she would have to justify it and answer some difficult questions if she did so.
I guess I will have to buttonhole her today and get a straight answer out of her...
