Outside of work things are good, but:
02/25/2009
The rumors are rampant and I am disappointed.
People are just slots on a piece of paper: just places to be filled in. The reorganization of the administrative staff was expected to be announced on Tuesday morning. I didn’t happen and by the time an email went out at 3:00 we were told it was still in review. There has been no communication that I know about regarding the people affected yet, we were told it is forthcoming shortly. The change is all being decided by a committee. The changes are slated to start on March 1st so there is very little time left. I am left wondering where I will end up reporting to work in a couple of days.
Not knowing is adding a bit more stress. I am not sure if I should start packing up my desk or not. Perhaps the re-org will be a blessing in disguise and I will get moved somewhere where there is a real team attitude. Perhaps a change would be good. It is my understanding there will not be layoffs so at least that is not a worry at the moment.
There was another hiccup at work on Monday: a unit photo and I wasn’t included in the group again. Four management level people in the group: not a single thought about the Admin, me. There sure is an awful lot of I in that team. It hurt my feelings again, an apology was made but those are getting old and sounding quite hollow. Actions speak much louder than words.
I watched the CA race on Sunday afternoon: Yawn. It was rather boring and I found myself doing chores and busy work. I ran out and did an errand during the race and didn’t miss anything.
IT is bothering me a little more right now, but others I care about are dealing with much more frightening issues. IT seems minor compared to what they are facing.
