A Weekend of Change

This past weekend was one of surprises and change.  In the department that I work for we were 'Line Dedicated'  as in we always worked/operated the same lines every shift.  In the year and a bit that I have been in my department I have always worked on the same lines.  Saturday that all changed.  I came in Saturday morning and went through my regular routine before our team meeting but was told by my supervisor that my team leader wanted to talk to me.  I was a little nervous but decided to push my negative emotions out of the way and focus on it possibly being a positive thing!  lol  well it was!  I have been moved to another line.  While that in itself brings new challenges and possibilities, the other reason for me being excited is the fact that the department is getting a new line and it will be installed to run with the line I have been moved to.  Being part of a new line is always a good thing!  I am also excited to work on my new line and use all my experience over the last year to help improve not only the line but myself and my skills!!   Unfortunately while this was a great move for me, the woman I was expecting to work with, was moved to replace me on the other line.  There is so much involved in the decision, and so much more than we even know, but it stills comes down to me gaining an amazing opportunity and the other woman missing it.  She will have other opportunities and will learn a lot but I still feel bad that she is not only unhappy but that she is missing out on something she wanted so much.....to learn the new line.


For me life is good.  Work is good for me, my family is healthy and so am I.  Is there really anything else that you could truly want????  (Beside financial stability, material things etc....that is...lol)
