If only management adopted those attributes they expect from a PA...
Anyway this morning I have had a further discussion with HR AND have been re-acquainted with my new boss. A completely different character from my current boss but perhaps a breath of fresh air if I am honest.
The move could take longer than expected and may not happen for a few weeks, but I shall be juggling workloads for two departments until everything is finalised.
That should keep me busy and off the boards for a while!!

(Now, where did I put that kettle?)
