After rudely ousting me from my position as head of the project and sending me to a remote location, suddenly I have been requested and required to attend a meeting today at which I am expected to share my expertise (and probably rubber stamp some ill-advised plan).

Seems in the year since I left things have been going from bed to verse (no, that's for poets) in a handbasket. My sources tell me that with another year underway and the head guy looking toward his own promotion, panic has set in because underneath all the pontificating and posturing, not one of them has any idea how it could work and has not the organizational and leadership skills to make it happen. But they know I do--they've seen me do it.

So I'm suddenly in demand. No promotion or acknowledgement of course, but please bail us out so we can send you back to outer Siberia while we look good to the head honcho. Same old story; many a smart capable woman can tell the same tale.

Think I feel a case of amnesia coming on....
