A little shakeup at work, and mixed emotions as a result

I just got called by my unit manager (he's the one that manages the people, not the projects) to tell me that the program I'm on ran out of money and they have to pull me off. I'm not getting laid off or any of that sort of crap, so there's no sort of danger in that sense. But, after getting smoke blown up my ass about how this project is such a long-term type of project, and that even though product development has ended, that obsolescense tracking will continue indefinately, the program suddenly ran out of money and I'm getting moved onto another project. Like I said, it's bittersweet. It pisses me off that I have to change and jump into the "unknown" but on the other hand, I really haven't enjoyed this assignment very much, so how bad can it be? The guy that I'm going to work for is a great guy who spends most of his time doing hands-on type of projects, and if I get the chance to get involved in that, maybe I'll actually enjoy my job.

The more I think about this, the more I think this is a good thing. Getting around that sort of hands-on work might be a Godsend.
