changing of the guard

Attended the retirement dinner for my boss last night. I will miss my boss. She was a very cool boss and really knew how to get things done. I also hope the new person coming in does not decide to restructure the department in any way that would mean I have no job - I hate having to go from year to year and wondering if I will get a contract or not - but then in a way everyone goes through that possibility. The thing is if it happens you do what my boss was doing last night, look back on the past with a sense of accomplishment and wow i made it through that, think excitedly about the future and try not to think about what the hell do I do now :-)
