WELCOME BACK RIDERS

Rollercoaster......of love. Rollercoaster. Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

The week has been a rollercoaster. I figured it would be. Highs. Steep drops. Nausea inducing. Pain in the neck. Long long lines....wait, I think I lost my analogy. The next few will be similar - or at least I'm guessing. My interview on Wednesday went fairly well. Now it's just a waiting game. As Homer said: "oh, the waiting game sucks. Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!" They are actually finishing interviews with other candidates. OTHER CANDIDATES?? Are they out of their frickin' mind?????

I've been fairly mum at work about my 'outplacement'. I was hoping to know something more about the possible new job before saying anything. When that was clear it wouldn't materialize I had to make a plan to let my staff know. I did that today - telling my direct reports in person and to the masses via email. It had already started leaking anyway, though oddly enough, not to my own team. And everyone is sooooooooooooooooo sorry. They can't believe it..... not that they know what to believe. But as luck would have it (not), invariably I'd end up trying to make them feel better about my misfortune. It's like when you're in the hospital yet you feel the need to entertain the visitors.

So two more weeks of at least of this rollercoaster. But next summer there is going to be a new rollercoaster....at Cedar Point. It looks ok, but nothing outstanding. Or is it just me? Jon? Jon?
