So now they know

... and I should have anticipated the concerns and questions over another layer of management which, to be honest, is really only a means to an end. Anyway, tomorrow the fun starts - I can start doing something!

Tomorrow's the day

Now keep up!

I've got a new job and can't tell anyone because my new team haven't been told. Well, today the current manager of my new team was told and tomorrow, I'll be greatly surprised if he doesn't tell the rest of them. But I still have to wait for my boss (or even his boss) to issue an official notification to make sure that we have done things the "right way".

Still, on the other hand, I didn't want to wander over to the new team (those in the UK, that is) and simply say "Oh, by the way, I'm your new boss". It doesn't quite seem to ring true.

So despite my keenness to get on with things, I am still going to hang back and wait for the official announcement.

... and tomorrow is the day that it should be made.

WWHHOOOOHHAAYY!!

Long day - new job

Yesterday I had a long day.

Up at 04:30, leaving home at 05:15 in order to go to York, where I was offered a new job.

I must comment that I had not applied for a new job, but a new opportunity arose in my team because some additional responsibilities had been brought into the team - needing a manager.

So from Monday I will no longer be a Release Manager, but a Test Environment Support Manager. Nether of these terms will mean much to anybody outside of the IT world, so when asked "what do you do?" I'm still simply an IT Manager. This still means that I manage people and not IT, but the people do different things with the IT.

Oh, and ssssshhhhhh - nobody is supposed to know until Monday, when my new team are told that they have a new manager !
