LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES....

Well, it was bound to happen eventually; I am, as they say "open to new opportunities"; I've just been re-orged into oblivion.

Well, five years is a good chunk of time and I do take comfort in knowing there is no one they could have hired, anywhere, that could have done more with less. The staff is top-notch, and I can move on knowing the company is infinitely better off because I was there.

Yes, there was drama, treachery, filth, and lies - hey it was a re-org! At least much has now been explained. I knew something was up, just not quite what that something was. I don't think I'll ever become that political; I wouldn't be able to sleep at night and I think I'd hate myself.

So I'll see what turns up; I actually enjoy going to new places and meeting new people, so other than worrying about starving to death, I might actually have a Good Time....

In the meantime, thanks to all of you who were part and parcel of "the best job I ever had"; many people go through their entire careers without having such an experience!!

I do have a post I've been saving regarding automation and I'll get it out shortly. In the meantime, I think some Jack Daniels and a straw would be in order...

Linda,

Sorry to hear about the sordid mess. But feel good to know that you will not have to deal with the aftermath of the 're-org'. Blessing in disguise is best way to look at it.

Just remember you can always go "wooking pa nub in all da wong pwaces..." (remember Eddie Murphy doing Buckwheat sings on SNL).

Best to you.

Jim

I'll keep Buckwheat firmly in mind; thanks!

Sorry to hear that, Linda.

With your talent, I'm sure you'll find a new company to admire, with management you respect. And then you'll build a new staff that is second to none.

Please come back and tell us how it goes?

Good luck, and best wishes.
