Rivers form and flow.
Behemoths show common sense.
Pease sprout, rain falls, growth.
After the recent rains, my pease are sprouting madly. Especially after the 0.7 inches (nearly 2 cm) of rain in about an hour the other night. Dry soil soaking it up all over.
Changes at work, as we get large enough to notice. The unit secretary/payroll person, who organized a lot of parties and pot lucks, left very suddenly. Explained as "family issues," we have our doubts. We all thought her very pushy about our jobs - which was clearly not her job. Our manager and her supervisor* were clearing out quite the haul of office supplies and toys from Secretary's office the next day, and distributing it, letting our staff scrounge it. I got a heavy office tape holder and a bunch of binder clips. (I didn't go there while old manager* was present, as she brings me out in a rash.) When my automatic email to Secretary about my payroll preference got to her before I remembered to delete it, she sent back a very terse reply. So, I rather suspect there was more going on than "family issues." I could be wrong.
Then they decided not to replace her, but to apportion her job to the payroll person for the clinics, and her other duties to our manager. We are not in compliance with the whole system, so we have to begin doing some of our processes differently. Not the surgical aspects, but the admin and some other detail stuff. Our newish manager is feeling a bit overwhelmed, but we are all glad it's her, and not eviljanieval* anymore. She very apologetically had a mandatory meeting this morning to get everyone hearing the same information. I could see it coming, so I was already assuming I'd have to be there this morning. No sweat, had to get out to get turkey for catsoup.
At any rate, bunch of new staff, and plans for expansion. New surgeons coming on, more work, job security. Bring it on.
Cats circling as the catsoup cooked. Going a bit mad, but once I put some down, they ignore it. Maybe it needs to age a little.
*Who never had our backs.

Growth is good, and as you say, it secures your job as well. It sounds like probably they should have replaced this person rather than removing the position.
i just love reading "catsoup" - makes me smile every time for no reason that i can ascertain.
