Yay!

Wait... hold on...

Awww. *hugs* Enjoy the down time. In nursing, we refer to it as a "mental health break."

Yeah it's one of those Facts of Life, "you take the good you take the bad" things.

Now that I don't have to drive 45 minutes to go to the office and officially be laid off, it's a little easier to take.

Oh no, so it DID happen, huh? Did they tell you over the phone? I'm sorry, I've been there and know about the anxiety. But there's freedom in it too. I just know that something good is gonna happen! (waitaminute, isn't that a Kate Bush lyric?) :)

Yeah, I got word yesterday an hour before I left for the airport. Spent considerable time playing phone tag with my supervisor. Apparently, they wanted me to come in this morning so I could be laid off in person. WTF. I called bullshit on that so now I'm waiting for consecutive phone calls from Pasty and some HR troll.

Bleah. That's like where I work. They'll wait until a nurse or aide or housekeeper (or whoever they're sacking) works their full shift, and then fire 'em. I think that's crap.

Oh, that's not fun. Not fun at all...good for you for calling them on wanting you to come in so they can tell you what you already knew!

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what the hell is the point of schlepping my ass up there when everything can be done by phone or by mail? "Yes please, I'd like to come in to the office and be publicly humiliated. Thanks!"

I heard the layoffs happened around 9am yesterday. So I guess that's a point in their favor.

[an-gealach.livejournal.com]

That happened to friend of mine, and when he went to work to be let go, they had security stand there and watch him pack everything up, and then escort him out!

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what they'd do here. Fortunately I had a headsup and packed up all my stuff before I left for Ohio.

WHAT????!!!! That sucks sweetie. Here for hugs and anything else you need...

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Uh yeah, did you miss the post a few weeks ago where I said I'd been warned that layoffs were coming and that I would be laid off? Or maybe I mentioned it at chorus. At any rate, yeah I'm laid off. Got word yesterday on my way back from Ohio. Made me want to cancel my flight and stay home with Mom.
