Doom, Slightly Pastel (With Frills)

bruised, and that's the optimistic side of me.
First, I decided to put in that accented garden strip along the
driveway I'd been talking about for months. Tabby Cat and I had a
three-day weekend around the 4th., so I spent about three hours digging
and seeding three sections of what proved to be Tree Root Central.
Still, you can do quite a bit with a saw. Such as spraining each and
every muscle in the human body, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
I lived on Tylenol for four days.
Then came Monday, when the boss, who had already put us to work
making up new resumes, basically informed us that there is probably no
way any of us will keep our jobs in the merger. We should disregard
everything we were told last month, and look to be out of work in 1 to 2
weeks.
Oh, not THIS was a rare and glittering delight to revolve slowly in
my SOHC paws, marveling at the pretty sparkles it cast odd. Evidently
corporate promises are written on water.
What? Me bitter?
I am not pretty much a total wreck, with worrying over the house
payments and just where I can find another job. About all we have going
for us is that my bonus at the time the sale went through let us pay off
the credit cards. Even so, we're not going to have anything worth
mentioning to live on until I can scare up anything.
It may not be totally hopeless. Of the three of us in my department,
I'm the only one interested in going into the merged company. I'm also
good at what I do. Still, I have no realistic idea of what to expect.

Here's hoping that the good economy they are always talking about is to your
advantage. Lots of *TUGS* to you. *HUGS*

like this always happen just after you have taken on a big commitment? But
if you are the only one in your department who wants to make the transfer
and you are good at what you do you stand a good chance of being taken on.

BTDT, although not because a merger. At the time I could continue
after all, so hope that's how it is for you. *hugs 'n tugs*

Love the way you put it :c)
I have learned from many corporate changes and the like that any change is
always for the better. All in the matter on how you look at it and work with
it. Perhaps there is not going to be something with you there which could mean
that something better could be out there for you.
good luck Flashcat, I know you will get through this.

I believe what I was trying to say was that after being through many corporate
changes with the company I work for and even leaving the company for a year cause
of a major change I know how you feel. I have learned that for whatever changes
come your way as long as the change doesn't rule your life and attitude It can be
worked out for the better.
I hope I am not to unclear :c)

Mmmm. I have something like 25 places I'll send resumes to. However, in
a job market filled with 20 year-olds, I'm not terribly optimistic about
a quick fix. The big drag has been seeing the office starting to pull
apart. The other CS rep is making ready to move to Mondana at the first
of August. Everyone else has no plans.
Not made easier by out having no story to lock in on. We could be
ushered out of the bank vuilding where we work tomorrow or in two weeks.
Makes for ticklish nerves, I'll tell you!
Not quite the early birthday gift I'd have angled for.

Actually, I suspect corporate promises are written in air. Hot air, to be
exact.

We just got the word that the programming center is moving to another
location. They're going to move part of it starting in two weeks, with the
balance of it moved out by the end of the year. Seems the delay is caused
by the other area not having enough space, and also not having FAA
certification. Fortunately, I have enough seniority, and a union contract,
to keep my job with the company. Just in a different section of the plant
I'm at now.
There's a lot of good jobs out there, and yeah it's damn hard competing in
the job market when companies only want to hire the 'youngsters'. Been
there, put up with it, survived (?) it.
For what it's worth, the job I've got now sorta fell into my lap after I
got laid off from my prior employer.

Kayl says corporate promises are written on toilet paper.
Then they probably drop in the water, and are supported by 3 flush
floaties.
Hope you are able to find something quickly. Its very stressful
going through that kind of thing.
Nations Bank bought out Bank of America last year and alot of
employees were laid off and Im sure all sweated. None of Kayls dept
went as ATMs being monitored are still needed. We were lucky.
Tugs from us to you.
