That 'feel good' Restructure Speech

Well loads of fun for us. Monday my co-workers and I were all ushered into the boardroom for a National teleconference. This is not an uncommon event but it was odd that some not all staff were included.

Since I started in my vocation that pays the bills 7 some years ago I have seen the organization and the departments 'transform' several times. Its metamorphasis PART 'xyz' this time.

The Powers that be, I guess had to expense a trip to someplace warm together and while there decided to merge two departments that really have nothing to do with each other. Oh and this is such a great stretch for the organization, such exciting times because... gosh all our jobs are being reviewed.

Am I worried - sorta. Do I know what is going to happen - not a clue. My job is pretty specialized by that means NOTHING. I am smart but there are definitely some things monkeys can do.

The next 3 months are going to be very interesting. Not just structurally what will happen in the organization but the whole departmental gelling of staff. I can see post - Dynasty Crystal and Alexis cat fights, back stabbing and well the usual gossip. I am not above listening and taking it in because it could prove good fodder for examination at a later date.

This might be just the opportunity to jump start my career of 'something' else. I'm not going to sweat it out. Shoulda, woulda, coulda just doesn't work for me. I'll go with the flow and if the flow says move on out... I'll take my package and figure out the rest later.
I'm more concerned that I have less than 17 days to figure out how to keep my kittens (3) from destroying the tree, keep my father's dog away from the kittens, Christmas shop because I have nothing!!!!! and plan dinner - that makes me more crazy and anxious than any job uncertainty.

Why... I'm certain Christmas will be chaos and I'm not certain about anything further than that so why drive myself insane. Downsizing, Khizan, etc is all part of the global structure but opportunity can be made.

Yes this is another way to avoid thinking about Christmas.
