Have they made the announcement you expected yet? I hope whatever happens you get some resolution soonest.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hang in there, Laura!
Disconcerted would be my choice, Teppy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
No -- we thought there would be a meeting today, but they decided not to have one. Which is frustrating, because you know the way offices work -- each person knows a little bit of information that another person didn't know, but no one really knows the whole scope of the thing. So a meeting would maybe have given us a clearer idea of what's going on.
The purchasing company signed a letter of intent to buy (but I don't "officially" know that, because I heard it from a co-worker, not Big!Boss or CFO), so based on that, it seems like a done deal. I'm not actually waiting to find out *IF* we're being bought; I just want to know what kind of time frame we're working with before we're out.
Plus I have jury duty starting June 3. Awesome.

You can talk about your problems here Steph no matter what size they are. It's enormously stressful to be suddenly confronted with job uncertainty when you are in the midst of a major life change, and marriage is wonderful, but it's a big life change.

I think "gibbering, roll-on-the-floor, frothing panic" would be my reaction of choice in your circumstances, Teppy.

That's pretty much it.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Job stuff is big! Especially not knowing -- that's the kind of stuff that drives me insane. Once I know, I can figure out how to deal.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, what Dana said. Job uncertainty is right up there on the list of major life stressors and so is getting married. You have a lot going on. It makes sense that you'd be anxious.
I'm working at the library bookstore tonight. I'm actually here when it is open selling books to people, instead of just shelving when it is closed. Apparently I still have customer service skills. Who knew.
