career whiplash

[deird_lj]

So, yesterday my job completely changed.

I haven't switched jobs, exactly - but my boss has rearranged EVERY single responsibility in our team, so we're now all about to be doing stuff we've never heard of.

No longer will I be minute-taker, track-inspector, or... well, anything else I've ever mentioned. Instead, I will be doing stuff I don't know jack about.

This is going to be interesting...

Weird.

I hope it goes well for you and that it isn't too stressful figuring stuff out!

Hmm.

Maybe your boss was doing a departmental reorganisation in Excel, with all your names in one column and the job responsibilities in another, and accidentally sorted one of the columns alphabetically without noticing?

Gosh, I hope it all goes okay and works out delightfully.

Whut?

...

That sounds like a... creative spirit of a boss. Which is possibly not what the job calls for.

G'luck.

Sounds interesting, I hope you like the new stuff you are doing.

Huh. Um...keep us posted?

Oh, the wacky, wacky public service

Something similar happened to me about 16 months after I joined. And then I spent about 8 months being really, really unhappy.

But then I was moved again and ended up responsible for work that fascinates me and challenges me and makes my head hurt in a good way. So these things can lead to bigger and better things. Once you get over the "I don't know what I'm doing!" moments... :)

Did you ever discover what you'd be {have been?} doing?

Oh, vaguely. Still working out the details, though...
