On The Eve of a Potential Layoff...

Well not to bring the 'shop down, but I'm sitting here on the eve of what could be a layoff for me on the j-o-b y'all....I've by the grace of God managed to 'dodge the bullet' for ten-plus years, but this stuff is pure torture no matter how many times you go through it...and while you get used to it, you don't. I'd feel much better if they wouldn't put all the 'fluff' around it, but no the powers that be manage to make you life more of a real-life Dilbert cartoon than it already is for a week to ten days. "We don't know anything" means "we can't tell you yet" ....Do they really expect us to believe they crafted a charge-off of hundreds of millions of dollars in 48 hours? It feels like when someone breaks up with you and says "Its not you, its me....but I still want to be friends." That 'yeah right' that pops up in the speech bubble on top of your head? Same thing...

So 'watch this space' y'all...
