Get Comfortable With Change

You know, I felt a lot better today than I thought I would.

We had a department meeting today (these don't happen often and are supposed to be happening more) and a lot of my questions got answered. I was also able to understand clearly my role as I transition from a Junior Planner to Planner. Mm, I like the simplicity of that - not all that angsty energy of a junior but a better understanding and a more secure place, in my mind. I don't think there's ever a point where a planner stops learning, but working towards getting over that hump of almost everything being new is good.

With the layoffs is what they like to call "restructuring" - I'm sure I will experience this over and over, but I kind of see it as a thing that needs to be done. Advertising, by its very nature, needs to continue to evolve and innovate. Making sure that actions match the words will be the next step, on both the employee and the management side.

So my position is evolving right now, the dynamics of our department are evolving, and the overall agency is being reformulated...I just need to let these changes whirl around me and develop with them. Seems like we may be moving closer to the creatives too (as far as where we sit) so I'm looking forward to these changes putting a little spice back into things, especially after the sad feeling of yesterday.

Tis the time of my life for change too so it seems only natural, oddly. I'm not sure that I'm the best with change but I'm trying. Let's hope for more days like these that cast some light on positive change.
