same office, new team

Well, one of the products being worked on in our office has been "put on ice". That is, a totally reasonable decision was made, in view of the current economic climate, not to continue with it.
Of course, it happens to be the one that I was working on. Anyway I was quickly "snapped up" by another team who needed more staff to cover their work load.
The old team had a 'wake' to mark the end, as we are all going to different projects and moving desks so we will not be sitting together. All down to the local hostelry to mark the occasion. Well, I missed it as I had other commitments that day - but no big deal. Everyone knows my view on alcohol, and I know theirs. Funny then that some are quietly coming to me and saying they wished they had my courage to say 'no'. For me, courage does not come in to it, as I was brought up in a family where there was never any booze in the house.

Now to start again, learning a new product, reading all the documentation, going through the 'new starter' training material. I have already found a number of omissions, created an updated introduction, corrected a couple of web pages and been thanked for my hard work by my new team leader. Not that I found it hard work; it was all rather fun and quite enjoyable. Next couple of weeks will be hard work though, as I have to devise and run some performance tests on the system to see the maximum load it can handle.
