How one's life can change (part 2)

What I really wanted to write about this morning but didn't have time to do is to describe what it's like to wake up in the morning and know that one's life will never be the same again.

What has happened is not the same as moving to a different company and job. It's having the same job but moving to a new location. I imagine that quite a few people wondered this morning whether they still have a job, but on that score I can be quite definite. According to the plans arising from this morning's emergency meeting, everyone is carrying on. True, most of the production line workers will be on a forced holiday until further notice, but we do intend to get production back online as soon as possible.

I have got several responsibilities to discharge, primarily getting the offices working again. It doesn't seem likely that we will be allowed to work in the offices (which weren't damaged) due to the poisonous smoke still emitting from various places, but I am hoping that I will be able to enter the building, retrieve several computers and sundry equipment and set up a temporary office somewhere on the kibbutz.

More later.
