Up in the air

I usually like being up in the air. It means I'm off on vacation, I'm going to meet new people, learn new things or connect with old friends.

These days, up in the air refers to waiting for a decision about what is next for my company, and more importantly, my job.

There are several different options for moving ahead. Option 1 requires a certain set of skills or people. Option 2 requires a different set of skills/people. Option 3 means being the company being sold to our current partner and I would go from becoming part of a group of 47 employees to 1 of thousands. Option 4 means closing the company - I don't want to know what the skills are for those tasks.

I realize that it takes time to think through, to plan for and to understand all of the complexities of each option. Do those doing thinking, planning and understanding realize what we are going through?

I do have a job and for that I am grateful. I work with a group of talented, experienced professionals who can handle any situation. People who will do what it takes to get the job done.

Now, if someone will just tell us that job is.
