Thank you for asking. In a word: Gaaaah. My closest boss was fired - sorry, moved to other duties - before the summer but the dept heads had no plan for how to replace her, so the rest of us now have to pick up her many duties and learn how to perform them without losing any of our previous tasks. That is, we could cut down on other things and the union tells us we should do so, but for various reasons that would be a bad idea. So we're insanely stressed and feeling the massive lack of interest in what we do from the department, we are all a bit worried that we might be next in front of the firing squad, and I really miss my ex boss.

Oh, and my best friend works in the same building and that's a whole 'nother layer of pain. And I miss my old dept acutely - I hate working for this department. And seeing T yesterday was not good. So, yeah, gaaaaah.
