Work Related…what?

I wrote a few posts ago about “Mr. Pissy Pants” and how he was getting on my nerves.  The day I got back from my honeymoon I was greeted by a note during a meeting, “Do you know when the re-org is happening?”
Hmmm….
Having been out of the office for a week and out of touch for almost two, I had not heard of the re-org.  I had a feeling it was coming, the writing was on the wall and had been for awhile, but I had no specifics.  A few more people dropped some hints about what was coming, so I did what any person would do.
I asked my boss.
He wasn’t surprised that I knew and attempted to not tell me what was happening, but in not telling me he told me.  If that makes sense.
So, the re-org that took place 6 or so months ago has been un-done and Mr. Pissy Pants has gone somewhere else to irritate others.  Yeah!

In other work related news – I taught my first classes for the tool we are rolling out.  I was pretty nervous through the whole thing – but by the fourth class I started to feel better.  I had a partner in crime for the series and she tended to talk a lot more than I did.  I was there for the tool; she was there for all the other “stuff.” Now, looking back, I think I would have done fine on my own and taken a lot less time to get the message across – but I wasn’t ready to take that plunge yet.  I am feeling better about teaching. 
They have delayed the “final” roll out of the tool and haven’t told us what the new date is, so I will have to schedule some make-up classes at some point.  That will be fun for sure!
