Just a quick update. 
While on my days off, my mother in law passed away.  Had been dealing with her illness throughout all of this ordeal as well. 

Did have a few days from work on bereavement leave.  Have begun working with my new boss, just doing what I do, trying to keep new boss organized and getting used to a whole new management style.  New boss has alot on the plate, but does not work the same way as old boss did.  Slower pace.  Takes some getting used to.  Old boss is visiting here on a business trip / holiday soon.  Happy to say,  He has already sent e-Mails to a few customers and co-workers in the organization, and cc:d me, that I am in charge of his schedule when he is here.  Works for me:)  Have begun working with and establishing a rapport with his new assistant as well. 

Being challenged with learning new processes and no communication.  Everything is in the reactive mode instead of proactive mode.  Managing change.  It is very frustrating at times, but I am just taking it one day at a time.  I always say, "You don't know what you don't know".  It is incumbent upon those changing the way we do business internally to inform those that are supposed to carry out the new processes, andbe receptive to those who are offering suggestions for improvment.  It is what it is. 

Not as stressed as I have been over the past several months.  After all of that, the rest is a piece of cake!

"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger"

Hope all have a great day!
