Apparently I'm moving desks again. Seat assignments are not set and as yet we have no map of the floor we're moving to, so I may be wandering aimlessly next Monday.

I also have to write my self-assessment by end of day for annual review, which is going to be super great since I spent much of the last review cycle shutting down a product. Woo?

Self-assessment: "I shut that shit DOWN."

Pretty much what I'm gonna say, may add in "LIKE A BOSS" since I did it at 80% reduction in staff?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is a most excellent Storm, Hec. Bookmarked.

I have come in today to a failing work computer, so I have to hand it to tech support for a while. Which, should my boss need me for one of his exit meeting, will bother him considerably.

I have written my "shut this product down like a boss" section. Now I'm trying to figure out how to write up "transitioned to a new role, have no idea what I'm doing."

Shrift, can you send me that section when you're done? No one will notice if I use it verbatim.

Ta, ever so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Rapidly getting up to speed" is I think what you want there.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And "assuming new responsibilities."
