Roll With It

As my blog subtitle implies, I am quite good at "just rolling with it", whether it be changes in relationships, at work, at home, where we live. I adapt well and quickly to pretty much any given situation.

This skill came in handy at work today. While a portion of our business was being split and restructured, I worried about the possibility of losing my boss to a new position or one of my reps to something new. I never once considered that I would be the one getting a new position.

It came as a shock. After the initial relief of finding out that my boss was staying in his role, I suppose it actually came as more than a shock. I would be supporting a totally different group of people. I lost my crew. In the matter of a second. Gone.

I looked far and wide for my ability to "roll with it" this morning. I couldn't find it anywhere.

I found it this afternoon, after numerous hilarious calls from my boss and pep talks, hugs and supportive shoulders from friends. I talked to a woman who supported the very same crew back when our company structure was much the same years ago. She told me I'd love them. And I believed her.

As much as I will miss the ease I had with my boss and the comfort level we shared, in time, if I roll with it just right, I'll have that again with my new crew. God willing.
