Huh??

Had a weird week. Spent a few days in SLC and a day in Cedar City. My agency is restructuring and I've been on the workgroups helping to figure out how it should all work. It has been interesting and fulfilling in so many ways but also stressful to be away from home. Plus all my regular work tasks have gone undone.

As part of the restructuring, Darren and I have to reapply for our jobs. The job announcements came out today and we have until Monday afternoon to apply. I have been so unhappy about the way this has been handled. I'm basically over the freak-out part and now feel like whatever happens will be for the best but at first I have to admit I spiraled into a blue period that took me a while to shake. It is quite possible that in a few weeks I will no longer be a Supervisor. Our Department is eliminating about half of the positions. Our teams will be huge, so not as many Supervisors will be needed. With all the technology in place now, our work is really portable. Right now my team has cases anywhere from Nephi to St George. With the new structure the cases could be anywhere in Utah.

Anyway, I still feel like either way Darren and I will both have jobs, just maybe not doing what we did before. It has been decided that no matter where we end up, our pay will remain the same. That is a relief. I also hope I can remain with my team. They are my family. I love them. They make the difficult days worth it.
