Was informed yesterday that my boss has taken a new position in another department. Yay for him. (He'll be down the other end of the building.)
I don't know what exactly that means for us, though. I don't think anything will happen to my job but we don't yet know who, if anyone, will be replacing him. So I'm a little nervous.
The thing with my job is that I usually feel like I'm just waiting for my boss to tell me what to do. My boss says I'm doing good work, but a lot of the time I don't feel like I'm fully understanding what the purpose of the things I'm doing is. I'm an "analyst" but I have no analytical background (well, except for literature, which isn't quite the same as financial analysis). I have no financial background; I'm not a numbers person. I sort of fell into this job, and while I don't hate it I guess I am kinda bored, and frustrated when I feel like I can't quite grasp what I'm doing (which frankly, I think the medication I recently got off of has something to do with that). And now that we'll be getting a new boss (whether they put someone new in his spot or we just report directly to his boss in the future) I guess I'm afraid that whoever that person turns out to be they'll figure out that I'm clueless...
Anyway, I guess I'm rambling. I don't do well with change.
