Good Morning. They laid-off my cube neighbor
Needless to say, I'm scared spitless that I'll be next. I woke this morning at 3AM and couldn't go back to sleep. Thinking I should get my resume updated and ready to distribute. Crap! I'm too old for this but can't retire yet. I guess I'll see what's up today and just have to swing lizards the boss wants to keep me around a bit longer.
I hope you guys have a great day today.

Gina dont worry noone in their right mind would ever let YOU go ... 
but be careful not to give em an excuse .. theres always a backstabbing snake around trying to take advantage in my experience ....and their focus is often on the very natural team leader /bright star who may not have any IDEA they even EXIST .....

Gina,
I hate to see anyone lose their job. My director is at a budget cutting meeting right now and we have no idea what is going to happen. The State has already cut us so much in the past 2 years, there is not a lot left to cut from. Luckily we have not had to let anyone go yet (just furloughs), but I have a feeling that might be coming. Since I do the money and administration, I'm hoping to have some job security - but you never know.
Good luck to you. Swinging lizards!!

How scary! My daughters' last day was last Friday. She had warning though and was able to prepare for it, but it still doesn't make it any easier.... did your co-worker have any warning?
I would be worried to. You can update the resume anyway - just to be prepared.

Oy vey Gina! I'm definitely going down to the gym to swing some lizards for you. If they lay you off, they'll definitely be the dumbbells! What a yuck feeling it must be to sit there and wait to see what happens.
Next month will be 17 years that I've been head of my depatment. I'm in private industry so they would be hard pressed to lay me off because they need more reason. My company has never done a layoff so I'm just hoping to make it the next 5-7 years until I can retire. I'm really glad that I'm female, 60 in October and white (which is a minority here in California), with not a single write up or warning in my file over the 17 years.
If you need help making that resume shine, just let me know.
If you do any walking today, take it slow so you don't injure yourself. Being tired is tough on the walking. I got 5 hours of sleep and I'm headed to the gym but I'm planning to be really careful.
ps.... can you take a nap on your desk?
Just kidding!!
I have WLS support group tonight. I can't wait to see what new format they come up with tonight. Before group I'm going to get my 6 month labs drawn so I should get some results in the next few days.

Babeeeee the anxiety levels in such situations is so massive. I just know you're so leveled and centered that you'll ride this tense times like a pro that you are.
I'll be swinging lizards for you, babeeeee. HUGS!
