A work update (names have been changed to protect etc.):
Our wonderful company has been acquired by the big globe, a long-planned event that was the finish line for us from the start. It's thrown our 350+ employees into a state of flux while the orb sorts through the bodies and determines our fates.
Very weird time! We're assured of several months of employment regardless, but my group has very little to do right now. By very little, I mean nothing. (Hence the blog.)
Lots of emotions running through the group: sadness, excitement, boredom, anxiety, impatience, relief. Nothing's happening but it's all we talk about.
I'm feeling all those myself, with a lot of anticipation mixed in. I've always liked change. For someone easily bored, it keeps things interesting. No idea where I'll end up, though I think it would take a major earthquake to launch me from Bend. There are a couple of potential options out there and I'm pretty confident that there will be more to come. I've always landed on my feet and in good shape in events like this previously. I have to trust the odds and keep, for lack of a better word, the faith.
