Coincidently this post ties into some information I received this week.  My boss has been offered a position heading up a part of the organization in another country.  Extensive international travel will be involved, and the details have not yet been worked out as far as if he will actually relocate there, or remain based here and travel there for periods of time.  This information has not been revealed to anyone in the organization except a few higher ups, and me.  He confided in me which I appreciate.  My immediate response was what a great opportunity this is for him.  He told me first and foremost I should not be worried.  I did put the bug in his ear that I can support him virtually, as we have done this very well in the past when he has traveled for weeks back to back.  We did not miss a beat.  So, over the next few months, while the details are being worked out for his new assignment, I will sit tight and see where the road leads me.  I told him that with technology as it is today, we could pull this virtual support off without a problem.  I know he does not want to break in a new assistant in a foreign country, appreciates me and realizes we do work well as a team.  However, time will tell.  Just curious how you would react and handle the situation?  Your thoughts ......
