Well deserved evil laugh of righteousness, Jess!

I am sure you will all be relieved to hear that my lunch today is Four Bean Salad. Not bad. Actually assembled for last night's dinner although I did not dress it (which is to say, does it liberally with the red wine vinegar I keep in a desk drawer) until now, and it will probably make one more meal at least.

There are rumblings that a reorg may happen and my team would be moved from where we currently report into to an org that actually understands what we do. I have never prayed for a reorg, but please god, let these rumblings be true.

My ONLY (mild) concern about this possibility is my current boss asking me if I wasn't a manager, what would I want to do. I don't want to go back to being a writer, so I told her that if for some reason I was no longer a manager, I want a site publishing/architect role, which is something the tech writing team desperately needs.

I still want to manage my team, but if I have to give that up in order to get us out of our currently dysfunctional org, I'll do it.

What I really want is some sort of unknown distant relative to leave me a fortune in their will. And a manor house. And to make me a vampire, while I'm wishing for unattainable things.

Your standard wish, then

But good luck with the re-org meanwhile!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Same. Except the vampire part. Probably.

Me three, Plei. No the vampirism, yes to the rest.
