a rare work-related post

burnunit(very rare, I'm realizing. why do I have so little to say about my job? perhaps no one here could possibly care. perhaps I'm more than my job. but I love my job)
So my reporting relationship is changing, and I'll be reporting to a different person, a VP instead of my current manager. This will be pretty cool in some ways. My manager is a really good friend of mine (like for reals, outside of work, more than a work-friend!), and we've maintained that friendship despite me being a subordinate. But I also like the idea of removing that sort of potential-for-ugliness aspect of our friendship. Suppose things went badly, and she'd had to discipline or fire me? Ack. Anyway. I just found out that my new boss, who I'm not sure has been formally told he's going to be my new boss, is going to be in town for two (2) days out of the next thirty (30).
I can't decide if that's going to be good for me or bad. I'm very independent, but I don't mind being able to connect with a decision maker from time to time. Maybe we can meet out of the office or something. He only lives like 8 blocks from me...
