Full Circle

Okay so I am not sure my life actually has come full circle today but it has come pretty close at least in respect to my careet at JCP. Today was just one of those crazy days where I am not sure why but I woke up with a weird feeling - note to myself for the future when I have those feelings just role over and go back to bed. Anyways on with the story. During my 1st meeting of the day I overheard bits and piece of a conversation between my boss and my big boss which just made my head start to spin, not in a bad way just kind of in a crazy I am not sure what I think type of way. Needless to say I overheard them talking about how they were promoting Sandra, my associate buyer. Congrats Sandra! But this meant a lot of added stress and work to my plate since I am the only other person who works closely with Sandra on woven tops. I am actually really excited about the opportunity and exposure but I am also very overwhelmed by it all too. Okay so I know you are wondering how my life has actually come full circle. Well the person that they have moved into Sandra's old position, is none other than my old boss Emily. Who I worked for when I first started at JCP. While Emily will not be my boss that is Lesa, I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around working with Emily but not working for Emily. I liked Emily well enough when she was my boss and so I am sure working with her will be great, but it is just going to take some time to adjust to all of this. Not to mention I think it is slightly weird that I am now working with someone as teammates who used to be my boss. Needless to say I am really going to miss Sandra and am a little scared about all the changes because oh yea they also promoted one of my team's allocators, so our old allocator is coming back to our team. It is just weird all the changes that are taking place within my team, but I guess that is what happens when you work on a top performing team. I am honestly not sure how these next few months are going to play out but they promise to be intersting to say the least. I just hope my head stops spinning from all of this soon, so that I can begin to process all the change that took place in less than an hour today.
