Writing is high on my list of those, lately running is another one, but it's late, I'm tired and right now it's also raining, so WRITING it is.
I'm a workaholic, I love my job I love my people (coworkers) and I love my industry, but I've found out that sometimes this is a codependent relationship and this is one of the times where it's not. At the place I've been working for close to a decade now, a series of changes are coming, these are all good BUSINESS changes, but do wreak havoc on some select individuals, and you know it's hard to come to terms with some of these decisions, as obviously they tend to affect people more than they do the business.
We have been recently informed that a lot of us will be re-located or released due to a change in the company structure where our positions have been removed from our current work location, and they will not be filled in my area anymore.
You know how there's always that girlfriend that tells you "it's not you, it's me... I really want to find something different in my life" and leaves you for a the weird guy at the bus stop? Even though you've cared for her and been more than supporting even in her "down" times? This kind of feels like that... At times...
Businesses thrive not ON people but on the bottom line. But they thrive THANKS to people, the links between friends, the joy of a Job well done, Loving when a plan comes together... and we can't help but attach feelings to everything we've done for the "company".
I'm happy that I am in a position to help others still, my job right now hasn't changed much, I still have to deliver results, aid my team, and provide assistance to those we are letting go. These are things that I find wonderful and fulfilling, and until the day I am told "Thanks bud, but you can't really come here anymore, this is not your job", I will keep doing it.
Until that happens, You'll be able to find me when you look closely, as you know, Hobbits never really left the world, we just adapted ;)
