Dang, did I pick a hell of a day to be out sick...

E-mailed my manager and team-lead this morning that I was going to be out sick today. I got an e-mail back in minutes, saying feel better, etc etc. Not more than 15 minutes after that I get a followup that our company has been acquired. It was all official as of 9:30 this morning. Wow.

I get a call on my cell at about 3:00 from the HR department and the gentleman asks to go over what I do, my role(s) and I should get a call back later in the afternoon with the yea/nay on whether I make the cut. He calls back around 5:00...

Apparently I made the roster for the "New" us, but others were not so lucky. A few just walked out and left before the end of the day. I'm going to stop by tomorrow and pick up my new "packet" and "corporate handbook". It's been almost 6 years since I was part of a large corporation, but I'm hoping that this acquisition will be fore the better of our company in the long run. Comparing how things 'operate' (and I use that term loosely) currently and to the direction we're trying to go, this will definitely be a big, positive step.

At least, I hope so. Time will tell, right?
