A few twitterings

I'm not very good at this - it's getting longer and longer between postings. I just seem to say the same thing each time. I don't know whether I just lead a very quiet uneventful sort of life or whether I go through life with my head in the clouds and just not notice the "exciting" things going on around me.

I'm a lb off my 4 stone at the moment but that should change tomorrow at me weigh in  - so it's still coming off nice and steadily. Nothing really to say about that.

Work is a different matter though. I mentioned in my earlier witterings that we are going through a bit of a reorganisation and that I'd been asked to apply for a specific job in the new structure. Well - I didn't get it! Actually they offered me another job, one that wasn't actually advertised  and has been created just for me. I don't know quite how to feel about it to be honest. Did they do that because I wasn't up to the original job? Or did I impress them so much they decided I deserved a special job?? I'm kind of see-sawing between the two at the moment. My new job is as a "Technical Director" - I used to manage a whole division (60 people) but now I won't manage anyone at all - instead I'll be involved in reviewing issues across the whole business (ie. recruitment strategy, developing new business products, identifying skill gaps and reviewng our accommodation strategy) These things are important I know but I will be remote from the day to day to operation of the business and I'll sit to one side in the structure. Am I being deliberately sidelined? Or do they think I have the skills to help develop and push the business in new directions? (reason given to me for the job move). I'm sitting down with the boss on Tuesday to talk through the new role in more detail so hopefully I'll be a bit more sure of myself after that... but for now I'm just confused.
