Bend!

I was going to post about my strange morning waiting for Dianne at the pain management Clinic. Dianne’s ride she was counting on for her transportation to the “operation” this morning sort of fell through and luckily I figured I had some time to burn elected to drive her to her appointment. I did not think the procedure would tale all morning but it procedure did and I was glad I was there to help. The Pain clinic was weird—to say the least. I cannot say too much then I would get into writing too much on the clinic. The place is a gem..nuff said—I could find material there for ever.

But, I was able to get to office by 12:30 and was advised as soon as I rolled though the door that the new boss had held up the weekly staff meeting just for me. Hey I’m special what can I say? Yup. It’s the new boss and I guess it made sense there would be a meeting to let staff know what the staff is in for. The new boss is great, let’s call her Dawn—I think Dawn is really smart. I think she reads a lot of stuff and Dawn is thinking all the time and really like to motivate people. I felt she was using techniques she got from self help books she has read somewhere in the not so distant past. Some of the stuff is touchie feelie and who knows, it might just work. You know things are going to be different when the boss wants you to go over your Annual review and change it to goal oriented language. Staff meetings are going to be reformatted into goal achievement sessions. This sounds weird I can testify but you know let’s give it a try who knows what we can achieve. “Bend, bend and bend some more Grasshopper” once the wind stops growth begins. I believe this is going to be a very interesting quarter as Dawn takes the harness of power. I am going to be good too. I am going to be a team player. I am ging to formulate goals and ACHIEVE THEM I AM GOING TO BE RAH RAH like I have never been before. I am actually feeling a lot of support right now and want to ride this wave to it’s conclusion. Am I sounding too sappy?

Not all the office hands are delighted with the turn of events. There are some dark clouds floating round but the are always dark clouds but everyone knows that all dark clouds\the most silver of linings. The grasshoppers must learn to bend with the winds of change during this transition. The wheels of change are often large and impersonal and they roll over the big ruts leaving many of the smaller ruts un touched and un changed.

A storm has moved in and lightning has started dropping out of the black clouds. I just got my system back on light from a very close strike. I feel it would be most wise if I were to shut down for the time being. And get this posted before we are hit again and I loose everything.
