The Winds of Change

I cannot believe it’s been over a year since I’ve blogged.  That is really pathetic.  And truly, there are a lot of things I could have blogged about.  Oh well.  I’d like to say I’ll do better, but then life happens.    And that’s why I’m blogging now…life and change. 

Specifically, my work life is changing.  I’m still with my same company but my boss has left.  He’s taking some time off — a break, if you will, from working.  I’m jealous, but that’s a whole other story.  So now, our small little office is closing and I’m reporting to someone new.  My co-worker and I are looking at the positive and we think this could be, quite frankly, awesome for us.  No immediate boss in our office.  We can work at home, in the office, both.   It’s the flexibility we’ve been craving. 

All the possibilities are good, but the fact is, my boss has left.  He was more than my boss.  He was my mentor and my friend.   I’m trying to “pretend” he’s on vacation, but when I see the totally empty office, it gets to me.  I thought I’d be ok – and I know I will be — but it’s a bit overwhelming right now. 

And to top things off, I’ve been working on a new project and I just feel like I’m screwing up.  At a time when I feel like I need to really wow people, I’m just f***ing things up.  Ok, perhaps I’m being a little hard on myself and I’m feeling a little emotional.  But that’s just how I feel.  I could use a confidence booster right now.

Change is good though.  I just have to remember that.  I will remember to look at the positive, and not be so critical of myself….Yes, most definitely, these are the things I will do.
