No, that doesn't represent 11 people cycling through the same job while I stayed in one place.

The sequence was:

1. The guy who hired me was re-orged to another part of the company three weeks after I was hired.
2. I then reported to that guys boss for about six weeks while they figured out the new org.
3. They finally figured it out and I was given a new boss in between me and #2. Reported to him for about 2 months.
4. Then one of the projects under #3 (that I wasn't on) became super high profile and he was moved to just that and given a different team. So they hired on a new guy to take the place of #3 (still between me and #2).
5. About six months later #2 left the company, they reorged someone into his position and they put #4 under him and promoted me to be equal to #4 both reporting to #5.
6. I see bad things in store for our company and assuming an acquisition is in our future I know my position is less likely to survive so I transfer internally to a new position and a new boss.
7. Company collapses and we're acquired. #6 has no interest in continuing with new company and leaves as soon as they're willing to fire him. I now report to his boss.
8. #7 is cut in first round of official layoffs. I now report to a temporary manager from the old company (because HR isn't merged) but it is known that I will be retained. Technically I reported to this person for almost two months though I don't think I ever actually spoke to her.
9. I'm officially assigned to my new boss in the new company.
10. Six months later the new team is re-orged, I'm promoted to be equal to #9 and we both now report to his boss.
11. Today #10 announces his departure so at least for a while I'll be reporting to the person who was #10's boss. Since I doubt that #11 will want the four people who reported to #10 reporting directly to him for very long I imagine that #12 will be not to far in the future.

So only 7, 8, and 9 were directly related to the chaos of the acquisition.

My dear, nearly indestructable phone. He broke in two today. Snapped back together, and it still works! But the end is near :(

As I was listening to the news today, I realized that you frequently hear of people being booked for assault, but never for a pepper.

I got accepted into the very cool Patchwork show!!!

YAY!

This?

Is it safe to assume the Long Beach show?

Woohoo!!! :D

I don't suppose you'll be at the one in Santa Ana?

OK... my co-worker isn't here yet... :( :(

Should add: this is stressing me out because she's the one with the keys to the transport vehicle needed to get people to and from location (we're filming a promo video) this morning... and we need to get going soon.

We were supposed to meet nearly an hour ago... this is so unlike her. She's super early...
