I'm grateful I wasn't laid off instantly because it gives me time to plan, but it is weird coming into work. I've got too much Catholic guilt to mess around much. So I've been spectacularly unsuccessful at using work time to do resumes or finish this test I have to take for this temp gig. 7 working days left for me.
Hope you take it easy, Hec. And if you email me what you're looking for, I can keep a lookout for you. God knows I've cruised enough job ads in the last couple weeks to find jobs for everyone but me.
Going through their website and jotting down their favorite buzzwords is good preparation, right???
It's fascinating how the knowledge that your job is going away will drain all of your interest in doing any work.
For the months between the announcement of our layoffs and the actual day, our favorite phrase anytime we slacked a bit was, "What are they gonna do - Fire us?" Lessens the pain when you can embrace the snark.
Which reminds me I ran into a former co-worker on Sat who said they had jobs posted. Gotta remember to wander over there.
Best of ~ma to all the job-seekers.
Spidra, what the hell kind of test takes a day and a half? My temp agencies just made me prove my claimed expert-level in Word, etc.
Was there more? Not sure. Too. Much. Gronk. Must apply caffiene.
Oh yeah, welcome (to new) home, Cass!
and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RAQ!

I doubt it could hurt. And my fingers are crossed for you, Katie!

So what grizzly personal topics shall we entertain you with today, Hec.
Happy Day of Raq! I hope it is as fun and interesting and warm as you are!
Oh, yay, happy birthday Raq.

I whacked a ball about 150 yards today. And also made the ball into the hole at the green in one stroke.
Sadly not grizzly. Really very boring. I wish I had any enjoyment at all for sports.
Happy Birthday, Raq!!!
Interview~ma, Katie. Knock 'em dead. Or, at least, wow them until they swoon a little. Dead is bad, they can't hire you.
Nora, so very jealous of your ale tale! I seriously need to make a trip over one of these years.
