career whiplash

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...

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... :)
