That's a very quick re-prioritization! How'd that make you feel?

I mean, it was definitely a shock and I wasn't necessarily thrilled about the whole deal. But, again, what was I going to do? Say "No thanks" and walk out the door unemployed? The only thing I might would have done differently was say "Yeah, sounds good" and then immediately start looking for another job. But I didn't, and it worked the way it did. All things considered, it wasn't so bad.
