I'd do the same, msbelle.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm off to a fine start. Came in a little early to be ready for my early meeting, got to the front door and couldn't find my badge. Called everyone in my department, the only one who answered was working from home. Luckily, someone happened to just come by and let me in. Then discovered I hadn't brought my water bottle in to work which always discombombulates me and THEN found my badge in my back pocket, so feel like an idiot. But I have my beloved Petite Breakfast Cheese to eat on newly discovered Brioche Toast which is delightful. Next up, that early meeting, yay

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Laura, nap definitely later!
msbelle, I support you in this decision.

That's a nice thought! So, early meeting was to advise us that we are infact changing our organizational structure a little AGAIN - my current manager is going to focus on a particular part of her duties which does not include my team, they are basically going to promote one of us to supervisor which....I can't really object to, there's no reason not to, but I don't want to supervise and I don't want to be supervised by any of my co-workers BUT no one is laid off or positions being removed or anything so on the whole not too bad

That’s good, but I don’t understand why that meeting had to be so early or so lately announced, geez! But I am intrigued by this petite cheese mention….do tell.
I have a headache which is not (yet?) a migraine but I don’t want to do any work right now. I took painkiller and am hoping it works and I can be productive in an hour or so

I guess he got the ok from the People department late yesterday to create the new position and he's going to talk about it in a department meeting later today so he wanted to meet with us before that because we are the most affected. It's all done with good intentions, I think, just resulted in worry
And I'm about to go into my 4th back to back meeting of the morning, so come to think of it he may not have had a lot of options to schedule a last minute meeting when we would all be available

Our wings are not tired
I'm headed to the airport in about an hour to head to Ft. Lauderdale for a very quick trip to help with Gay Mens Chorus South Florida, and also to check in on Pix's dad. Out there today, and back on Saturday. Tech the concert tomorrow, and the show is Friday night.
I'm already tired.

ND, are you able to nap on the plane? I'm sorry for the stress.
Well, the realtor has pulled themselves up a bit by sending me a link to a house we'd actually happily consider - if it were in the municipal fiber area. It's listed as part of next year's expansion, but fast internet is how we pay for the house, it's not a "would be nice to have".
Still! Single level, 3B/2B, integral two-car garage with access through the mudroom, woodburning insert in the family room off the kitchen plus an ASHP for heating and cooling, with a sunroom off of that; the lot's not huge but has mature fruit trees and is fully fenced. All for about $75 more than we're paying in rent. Someone's probably going to buy it for cash tomorrow, but it's a hopeful sign.
