edna Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I sat on one of my cats a couple of times... she's so small and black, you don't even notice there's a cat, you think it's just cushions... or you don't expect her to be sleeping on the black leather chair in front of the computer... and they're not supposed to be under the blanket ON the matress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It blended in with my chair, never saw it. She's fine though. I blended a kitten in with a chair once. But I ended up not drinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 White supremacists freaking out about their guns being taken away when they were put on a 72 hour mental observation is causing me concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Tomorrow afternoon I find out my fate......the worst part of all of this will be that whether I stay or go, I will have to part with some people I've grown very close to over 18 years.

Lea Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yes please do. At least you'll know one way or the other now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Well, the news isn't good folks.....out of 8 of us in my group, 6 of us are out, including me. The good thing is I have a lot of time in so I am getting very good severance. Also, my husband is still employed and his job is secure, so we will be OK. I get to be here another week...basically doing nothing but saying goodbye and cleaning out my desk and taking anything that's not nailed down . There have already been phone calls and e-mails and some kind words.....I'm not a cryer, but there will be tears before I'm out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 So sorry Jen. Let's hope this leads to something good...something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 The people left standing are not happy campers, so they probably did me a favor. I will get the rest of the summer off and best of all, I get to be there to put my daughter on the bus for her first day of 1st grade. She went to a private kindergarten, so there was no bus, so this is a big deal. If I would have been kept, I'd be commuting and would have missed that. You cannot put a price on moments like that.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Awww, Jenny. Sorry and congrats all at the same time. The time you'll get to spend with your precious little one is something you'll remember forever. For such a potentially devastating thing as being let go, I'm glad yours is working out with a few bright spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Jenny You'll end up just fine...I'm sure. Enjoy the free time while it is here. Don't forget, you can always sell that phone number of yours (867-5309) for some cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I am solid proof that when things look the worst, they can turn out for the best .... I'm sure you'll find that as well, Jenny. Enjoy your summer, and the time with your family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Bummer. I don't know if you liked your work, but I see it as a functionality that serves to buy/afford one time with family and friends. If you had been forced to commute and spend more time doing twice the amount of work (due to the cut backs), then it's not serving its intended purpose. I think it was for the better; it will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks everyone for your words and good wishes. It looks like 85% of this place is gone and those left are not being treated very well regarding their new reponsibilities as well. The more I talk to people the more I think that I'm one of the lucky ones. One more week and then I can report to my new boss, Mr. Beach Chair!

Lea Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 What a shock I just found out (minutes ago) that I no longer have a job either. Granted it wasn't much of a job only three hours a week three days a week but still... I liked it because it forced me out of my house instead of allowing me to become a complete hermit Jenny at this time in your daughters life it's really great that you get the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. Most women these days haven't been able to do that. When kids start going to school full time is when you'll probably want to go back to work so enjoy it while you can. I became a school volenteer and loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
