Rewind back to fall '05. I was managing director (#2) and we got a new executive director (#1). #1 decides that the center is going to go in a different direction. #2 is given a choice of being out on the street or taking a half time research position. #2 opts for the latter and manages over time to sort out the other half of the job, and eventually transitions full time to a new institute full time in summer '06, reporting to the acting executive director (#1). New executive director is appointed (#1) and acting executive director goes back to managing director (#2). So I'm now #3? Anywho, #2 announces he's leaving this week. So #1 calls me into his office today as they temporarily reshuffle reporting until a new creative director (parallel #2) is named. Now I'm reporting to #1, at least until parallel #2 is announced (in a few weeks). Then will I continue to report to #1, or the new #2, or maybe a mystery #4?
My head hurts. Luckily the rest of my life is smooth sailing right now. Oh wait...
