Today I am the Frog
Oct. 11th, 2007 09:35 pmOn the good news front, I have only one wall left to tile. Woo hoo! Also, Mr Inf was in a much better mood on arriving home. Also, woo hoo!
On the bad news front.
I should have known better than to start feeling optimistic about work. Today I was told about an upcoming re-org of my division. Now, this reorg was not unexpected. In fact, it's been due for some time. But I didn't think that it would be quite as devastating as it is.
There are no layoffs, but I have been moved departmentally, and the remaining members of my team (left with me despite Director Eeeevil's best efforts to take them away) have ALL been taken from me and redistributed to other managers. With one exception, they aren't even still together. I will be getting no new people. This is due to two factors - one I am being moved to another department, and two ... I got back God Project and so I no longer 'require' a team. My guys are very unhappy. I am ... not pleased at all.
Maybe I should finally take the hint. This move will result in even LESS attention and oversight than I had before, and means I will have even MORE time to myself. I'm starting to think I should just use that time for something I want to do like writing rather than trying to keep myself busy.
So... Today, I am the Frog. The Death Machine me will just have to wait til I regain my grip, I guess.
