no walking again today. We planned on it, but then got a big lightening and thunder rainstorm. First one in several days.
Got a sample of Fibersure from WalMart in the mail.
I found out my direct boss was laid off on Friday. I guess the company laid off a bunch of Managers. Going for the high salaries probably. So I have a new boss. Don't know much about her yet. Suppossedly she will be visiting each of the sites to meet people. Could be good, could be bad. Too early to say. It does mean I have to impress a new boss though.
My old boss knew my capabilities and saved my job once when layoffs where happening, I had moved to another group that they were cutting out and he intervened and brought me back to his group. He's always gotten me pretty good raises and several bonuses also. I had built up a lot of trust and goodwill with him over 9 years so I'll miss that. But he was kind of laid back and too many things fell through the cracks, rumor has it the new boss is more on top of things. As long as that doesn't mean micro-managing, that should be good. I'm pretty used to being given a job and left alone till it's done.
Finished reading the library book The Hard Way by Lee Child. Mystery. Very good. These books really suck you in.

Sorry to hear about your boss. That will sure take some adjustment! Hopefully the new boss will be nice and open and talk to you about how you do your job, not tell you how to do what you already know!!
Good luck!
