Panic Attack
Okay, I'm having a panic attack. My heart is beating uncontrollably, my right eye is twitching and I'm feeling all claustrophobic. Our new CFO started today. Don’t get me wrong, I really like him so far. He seems to be a genuinely good guy. The thing is, he’s come in here and is totally rearranging everything. They’ve moved my Tempie Boss down to the 2nd floor offices and that’s where he’s going to be living too. Not only that, but they’re taking all of the files with them. So the Accounting Dept will be officially located on the 2nd floor.
Here’s the thing: I’m staying put. I’m not moving down there with them. They’re taking my boss, my boss’ boss, and all the files I use on a daily basis and relocating them to a completely different floor in the building. I’m terribly afraid that I’m going to be stuck here and everything I enjoy about this job is going to be stripped from me. I’m going to be the freaking receptionist/office manager/admin bitch. The only reason I took this job was because it afforded the opportunity to get into the accounting dept. This morning, it’s almost as though I’m seeing that opportunity wheeled down on carts to the 2nd floor, out of my reach.
Did I mention the fact that my eye is twitching. It’s driving me crazy. I need to talk to the new CFO, because I want him to be straight with me. If I’m having every aspect of the job that I actually like taken away, I need to start looking for a new job. I think he’ll be straight with me.
Maybe I’m totally jumping the gun. I hope so.

Yeah, I was thinking "she's jumping the gun", but then you wrote that. I think you are. Take things as they come
i hope that you get to talk to the CFO today. i hope it works out!
I think they may have had that idea for you, but if you talk with them this early in the game, you can preempt that and get back to what you love.
