Ya know, there is just something nice about having the opportunity to watch men who are working on cars... I am not sure why...
So, what is going on?
At work they announced the first round of layoffs yesterday and one of our dear co-workers got a notice. It didn't seem fair. He was a great guy, worked hard, didn't have performance issues and he will be gone in 2 weeks. He will be sorely missed. Right now, the rest of us are on a heightened state of alert with another round of layoffs possible next week (a reliable birdie told me this...)
The interview in Phoenix went REALLY WELL. Unfortunately, the company froze all internal transfers and hiring on Monday (but they still interviewed me anyways...) I was told more than once during the day that they couldn't extend an offer because of the freeze but they would be talking to their managers to try to get around that... Sounds positive...
I am trying to keep a positive outlook through all of this crap, but it is really really hard to do that. I had hoped that some of the stress would be relieved after the interviews were over but the whole layoff thing heaped another helping of stress onto an already overfull plate. The surgery is on Thursday so I will have Thursday and Friday off of work for recovery time. Once that is finished, then it's all about waiting... and waiting... and waiting...
I am planning to do some dyeing this weekend to get my wits back about me again and to have some fun. After the surgery, I am going to talk to Noelle about learning to spin wool. It is something I have wanted to learn for a while but I really need someone who is a total GODDESS at it (which Noelle really is...) Learning that and having it would really be something calming, soothing and relaxing to get me over this stress in life. I am really looking forward to it!
A weekend... I can catch up on my sleep (3 hours on Wed after my flight back from Phoenix got delayed, 4 hours last night after the layoff mess), watch cars go around in circles, clean the house, dye wool, and maybe even have a nice adult beverage or two! Hubby and I are going out to Pelican's for dinner tonight and we will have some nice time at home afterwards. I am not going out of town this weekend for the wedding because of the uncertainty at work, so I will be showing up at SnB this Tuesday...
