More updates on the highly suspicious "job swap" project: Just had a meeting with Flaky Boss, Boss Boss, Job-swap guy, and new department's manager. I am now part of new department indefinitely until my old department "needs me" again. I will be working with Job-swap guy to clean up some old system audits and projects that have been hanging around forever that no one ever got to. However, new manager will be shadowing Flaky Boss in order to take over being OUR manager while Flaky Boss is out having knee surgery next month.

I see a department merge in our future, and I don't see things coming out good for Flaky Boss.

ETA: Job-swap guy pressed Boss Boss and said "What is the end game here, what do you see coming out of this?" And all Boss Boss would say was that he had a broader plan in mind.

Hi all! Just checking in. I'm in NYC. We thankfully still have power. Most of my family does not. But everyone is okay. Transit system is down. Lower Manhattan has no power. I don't know when I'll be going back to work. But just happy to be safe. How are the rest of the purgies doing? You all okay?

ooooooh!!!! A Houndie sighting!!!!!!! More exclamation marks!!!! :D
More congrats on your awesome news.

Cindy, I'm worried too. I emailed Cuddles a couple of hours ago. Haven't heard anything back. I'm just hoping it's a power cut and that they're all right.

WHAT IS YOUR NOVEL ABOUT??? ha

snappy, thanks for checking in!

so glad you're okay!

It is a sequel that nobody will read to a novel that nobody wants. Which is kind of tragic. But it has shootings! Rooftop sniper duels! Sarcasm! And emotional trauma. :D

Hi Purgs!
Checking to say i am well and safe and all that business. Lost power for a bit, but no big whoop. I also got some writing done-- on the Horseman Novella-- ugh. the story ( as far as I'm concerned) is complete at 4,200 words. The Editor wants 20K. He's willing to compromise at 10K. I has no idea where Imma get 6K more words.

Hope everyone is okay.

:D

wonderful things.

i am writing a sequel to a novel that no
one wants either. ha!

Also, Tas: You don't need us to tell you that your work situation is Not. Good. Watch your back, sweetie.

I'm still going forward with the plans to get myself out of here. Best-Friend-The-Doctor is nosing around at her hospital about some jobs I saw posted online, so...

(Seriously, let me wear scrubs to work everyday? Oh HELL yes)

Glad people are checking in.

I'm waiting to do my third of three talks for the day. This is the first time I've used a PowerPoint for a kids' talk and I'm glad I came prepared for tech difficulties. They couldn't get my laptop to hook up to their system but I had the presentation on a memory stick as well (I also emailed it to myself)

Looking forward to pizza and wine tonight

Well, not exactly a superstar. I did spend part of yesterday photographing Barbies to use to illustrate parts of my talk. Very glad I don't have to do serious corporate presentations.

A friend from NYC just posted on Facebook they've been told there won't be power or water for 2 to 3 days. Bad, but at least it's not a week.
