This was a hard week. It started off with the leaving of the CEO of the company I work for. Then today, I learned that a lot more people are actually leaving. Talk about a wholesale housecleaning of management, this is it. The odd thing is that this week began with new landscaping of the areas around the building. The gardeners were pulling stakes, little trees and plants on Monday. The gardeners began the new landscaping on Tuesday and were continuing the process today. What is even odder is that several weeks ago, I placed in the recycling bin some stuff associated with the company's management. I was hoping that a new opportunity would present itself. Odd how that opportunity goes to others rather than to me.

To top it all off, the FDA came on by for a visit. It is a good thing that the people who were leaving decided to stay on board for a few days to help out during the audit. Otherwise, it could have been a painful experience for us. Luckily enough, there does not seem to be any serious citations for the company. However, with people leaving, the building had a gloomy feeling to it. It was as if the air had been sucked out of the place.

I wonder how the new management will deal with the situation. Hopefully, everything works out for the best.
