I am very upset. (Update: Post #19)

Change is difficult. But think of all the NEW people you will meet. New customers, new co-workers. It could be a really good thing for you. It will expand your horizons, interpersonal skills. Give it a shot and don't be afraid. You excelled where you are, no reason for that not to happen in the new location. You will do just fine.

I agree- I know its hard now- but look at it as a whole new crowd...

I feel so bad for you Kay!

Sometimes it's hard to make friends in the workplace, then you are up rooted and have to start over again.

But we'll always be here for you!

There might be a surprise waiting at the other job. Changes can sometimes bring great things.

I agree with what the others have said. Adding to that is that change (as difficult as it is) is part of life, and once you become open to it and successful at it, you have a whole other set of skills under your belt. We all have the utmost confidence in your ability to adapt and grow. I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings, they are real and appropriate to the situation. Just don't let them close you off to the possibilities that lie ahead.

Having change forced on you is not pleasant. I've been wrestling with unwanted change for a few months now too. (ie: me to hubby: "You're getting a job where?" ) But, your boss is choosing you for a reason, he must have a great deal of confidence in your abilities. It will bring new people into your life, and may not be as bad as you think now. Good luck, Kay, I know you'll give it your best shot.
