Thanks, you guys! I really feel able to overcome both the hard and the not-easy aspects of pimping.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I'm trying to decide if I should go meet people for dinner and catch the midnight repeat of SGA, or if I should see if they're still hanging out at 10 when the first run finishes...

Skip out, msbelle!
I think I'm going to socialize this evening. However, if I somehow miss SGA tonight because of it, there will be hell to pay.

Dude, totally skip out. You don't have time if they DO want anything from you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So we had our meeting about the department re-org. It amazingly finished before 5. I did feel I got the brush-off when I asked a question which has put me in a less-than-stellar mood.
I asked if we could get a listing of our new responsibilties and was told it should be in my job description.
My current job description has nothing to do with the duties I'm going to be performing post re-org. Yes, we have a lot of people who were wearing a lot of hats and part of this re-org is putting people back into the jobs they were hired for, but I'm getting kicked to the side and forced to wear a hat I never wanted in the first place. It's not unreasonable for me to want a clear-cut description of what it is that I'm actually supposed to be doing, especially since we're supposed to be submitting a list of duties we currently have that are outside of our "new" positions.
Being made to feel like an idiot for daring to ask about it does not help my already low-morale about this fucking thing to begin with. Jackass!
My former-boss currently-boss's boss soon-to-be-my boss again until they hire me yet a different boss got to hear quite a bit of raving from me once the meeting was over. She's obviously not happy with what's going on either, but figures someone else will eventually come in down the road and change everything around again anyway, so there's no point in getting worked up over it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Kalshane - my DH is in a company that has an offical reorg every year or so. If you are in one of those - you gotta learn to ride the wave or GETOUT!GETOUT!GETOUT!
