The powers that be...

Raye at work came back from Winnipeg after a very busy week moving her mum into interim care because she seems to be suffering from disorientation and the onset of dementia. It was nice to be back at work with her...I really like her and she is going to be a Gramma for the first time in August which is exciting. Anyway...things are very busy at work and with all the new strategic alignment , big boss Jill, Karen and Judy are having more heaped on their plates. Judy has been asked to help out at the Sports Arena because our new Division Head Joyce was promoted from the arena manager and so now the current person covering needs help as he is completely overwhelmed with many new areas to look after. Big boss Jill had asked Raye to step in to assist Judy which means me stepping in to backfill Raye...but Raye being so sweet asked if I could do the backfill for Judy instead! Well...the reason why I left Community Services was the fact that I do not own a valid driver's license (like driving has any impact on the work that I do) so big boss Jill was not sure if HR would nix the idea and if there would be road blocks...anyway...HR said there was no issue if she was willing to waive the drivers license which she adamantly did...see...truth be known I was certainly not treated fairly in my previous job. Anyway...changes ahead and I am really quite excited about it...back to doing some programming also doing what I love now. Not that I don't love pretty much everything that I do. I have been so fortunate to have the support of so many like Heather in bookings as well....she has been so awesome and such a caring person who has had her share of trials and tribulations.
Someday I hope I get my permanent status doing what I think I do best...now of only Darcy can get back on his feet...life might have some glimmer of light!!!
