What blindsided you today?

[infinite monkey]

Really, less of a blindside to me than to the blindsidees.

The other top two Poobahs in my department have been released from duty.

I can't say much, as always...but that was a HUGE shocker in staff meeting this morning.

They've been given an option to stay in a lesser role. I hope one of them does, my supervisor, who has invaluable knowledge but, like me, was always in a position of reacting instead of innovating. And also had to toe the line in the Old Regime.

I think all day I'm going to be going "wow" because it's going to take some time to sink in.

And with the restructure I do wonder if there might be some opportunities that would benefit ME and use my unique (in this office) skill set.

I'm not celebrating this one. I am glad the change is happening and I know change is hard...but this one isn't a celebratory situation. The last one was.
