The Big Cheese came yesterday and told us who would be reallocated and who would be laid-off. All privately of course. I will be moving to "corporate" at the end of October. Before I go on let me say that I am grateful to have a job and I am thankful that there is room for me over at "corporate". So, yeah. I'm not sure of what to think of the whole situation. I've really enjoyed working in a clinical setting the past year and now I am moving to more of a "real" laboratory, sans patients. I'm sad that many of my co-workers won't be moving with me and the awkwardness that is in the air when we are together is something that I don't like much. In reality, I guess I feel that this didn't come as a surprise to me. For the past three weeks I have been pretty much at peace about this whole situation. I was okay with letting whatever happen happen, but I was prepared to lose my job and start over with a different company. Now, that isn't the case anymore. I'm looking for the pros in this new path: I have the opportunity to work closely with scientists. I will be able to learn new procedures and get a different perspective. I'll be working regular hours, no more nights and weekends or 2am calls. The cons: no more overtime, no more clinical setting, and having no clue about what I am supposed to be doing or how to do it.

I'm in between being mellow about this and not being o.k. with it. I should probably save my energy and just roll with it because I know that there is something bigger and better after this. I am supposed to learn new things and make the most of this opportunity because on the other side of the bridge is something that I was made to do, something that has been and is waiting just for me. I just wish I knew how long it is going to take to cross.
