Well, I been lookin' real hard and I'm trying to find a job.....

It's funny how things go sometimes.  I am looking for a new job now, not because I am completely dissatisfied where I am, but because where I am doesn't seem to actually have a place for me anymore. 

The corporate re-organization:
For reasons sometimes obvious, and sometimes obscure, corporate organizations seem to exist in a constant cycle of re-organization.   You have either just been "reorged" or you are expecting a "reorg" to come soon.

I've been "reorged"
It turns out however that it's more that I have been "unorged" because my position was essentially eliminated in the new organization, and in the new organization there are not enough positions for people in my job function.  I'm looking w/in the company for other opportunities but there really are a limited number of possibilities.

I'm trying to stay positive, it's not like I am out on the street, or being fired, or even being asked to leave in a hurry.  I am still working and getting paid, I just don't have any sense of security or permenance at the moment, and quite frankly I'm still a little pissed that I have spent so much time being an outstanding employee for this organization without any apparent career path for me now.  I feel like I have made a bad investment, except there is no easy way to write off this loss...

Ack.. now writing that has made me feel a wee bit depressed.. I did say "Trying" to stay positive..... :)

I'm starting this one off in Phoenix Arizona... I've been to Tacoma...  Can't imagine that I want to go to Philadelphia, Atlanta or LA...  But Northern California where the girls are warm?  I think I could do that.

I've never been able to find a way to make money as a photographer, or I would have already.

yes, your photography is quite amazing..not a bad poet either ;)

I am in the "reorg" phase as well..however the reorg has nothing to do with me. One employee can't seems to come in at 8am nor has the ability to do her own job..so, she gets to take mine. Now I'm getting squeezed out of my responsibility and a respectful position to do calrical work..poop. But I feel ya.

It's the diet coke and all the cubicles, it's making us all crazy as a culture. (theory of the second)
