Unemployed for a day

I'm excited and slightly apprehensive about giving up my job on 7th November 2008.  Not permanently you understand, simply as part of the second 11 MILLION Takeover Day.  My job is going to be taken by a young person for the day.  The previous Takeover involved 400 organisations, giving 10,000 children the chance to work alongside decision makers.    Our meeting about getting involved came after a discussion we'd just had in the office.  We were trying to work out how to present the case studies of the young people we represent.  We went through every permutation and then came to the conclusion that basically, we needed to keep out of the way and let the case studies speak for themselves.   What we do best as an organisation, and what has brought us the most success, is to stay backstage and let our young people take the spotlight.  This is why Takeover Day appeals to me as a concept, why it appeals to our young people, and also why I am feeling slightly anxious that I'll be permanently done out of a job on 8th November!
