So, it got me thinking. My dept has remained unscathed because we were already running on a skeleton crew. But, it won't be unscathed for much longer. We're busy installing a new Production line, so they need everyone. However, that project will only last a couple of more weeks. Out of the 9 people in my dept, I run a very real risk of being laid off - from what I can figure, along with 2 other people.
So, I thought, will I be upset if I get laid off? In the short-term, yes, but long-term, no. This is just a job to me, not my career. So, I think that I would actually welcome it.
I'll do nothing but sleep, read, and watch movies for a week. Then maybe I'll start looking. Or maybe I'll take some more time off, work on writing the script that I started.
Sometimes you need a swift kick in the ass to go after what you want. I just wish that working here wasn't so f-ing stressful right now. Whenever I see the HR lady, I run for the hills. LOL.
That's it for now.
Bookie, I'm so sorry to hear of your stressful situation. I know that has to be a miserable feeling to be stressed everyday when you go to work. Regardless of what happens, I feel that you are the type of person that will be back on your feet in no time and won't let this get you down. You seem like a survivor. It may just be the push that you need to move to the warmer climate that you have been wanting to do for a while now.
I'm hoping to get back to Chicago sometime this year for some more shopping and sight seeing so you need to hang around for a little longer though. I think that it would be fun to meet. Plus, you could show me the hot spots for some 'shaggable' men.
