so, work gets interesting...
so today, with basically no real warning, for only the second time in fifteen years at the same company, i changed managers.
i'm a little freaked out, but that's mostly because change is stressful. it will be very interesting to see my response to having a manager who is not a dysfunctional, unpredictable, inflexible woman. well, of course the only thing i know for sure about my new manager is that he's not a woman (i have a weird radar for transsexuals so i can tell you for sure that he's a man). but by all accounts he's not unpredictable and seems to be pretty flexible.
we'll see.
i started trying to sort through the restrictions that i think i've been working with-- or around-- which might dissolve as a result of this change. what opportunities do i have now?
i'll be interested to see what coping behaviors we've developed which we won't need now. i already called dave on one; in him they're not difficult to pick out because he goes from looking totally relaxed to having this weird scrunched up strained smile on his face.
i'm sure i probably have a similar strained smile which i'll be all too happy to give up.
