Too many not-so-new beginnings

[jehoshabeath]

So many changes are going on at work these days that I feel like my head is spinning. Changes in staff, changes in my responsibilities, changes in teams, changes in management, changes in process, equipment, etc. No wonder I feel dizzy. And sad. And stressed/confused/etc. I'm trying to keep my head down until the dust settles; but in the meantime

Earlier I was joking to myself -- maybe we should switch places! My current workplace is extraordinarily stable. The people I work with have been here for 10, 15, even 20 or 25 years. During the four weeks I've been here, there have been three retirement parties. ("Thank you for your 40 years of service!") Even many of the temporary workers have been coming on and off for years

Ah, wow - that is funny :)

I'm glad to hear that there are more consistent work environments. Thanks for telling me about your employer - I'll keep that in mind ;) I'm hoping that things here at SU settle into place over the next few months, though. Even though so much is going on, I have the feeling that I want to stay put and do my part to help this time of transition to be a smooth and pleasant one.

I hope you have a good experience there, too, while you're filling in for your colleague on maternity leave. I'm sure they really appreciate your help during this time. And I hope that you can keep learning and growing even in a quieter, perhaps less engaging environment. What are you learning or working on these days outside of the office?

Hope you're enjoying the spring trees and weather ^_^
