I've been re-organized.

Yesterday, I discovered that my dept is being re-organized. While this means "lay-offs" in most circumstances, for me, it meant that one of my colleagues would now be my boss, and I would have completely new job description. One of these new tasks is being a print buyer of the discipline that includes our biggest selling book, which happens to one of the biggest selling books in our market. (Fortunately, the revision is a few years off, whew.)

People seem to have amazing confidence in me and that I'll do a swell job at it. I don't doubt that I'm capable, but it's disorienting. I've somehow acquired a new job and new boss without having to show up at a new building.
