Work Woes

May 08, 2012 23:04

I have a lot to post here, but first the most immediate stuff: my hours were, once again, cut at my work -- almost an entire month earlier than anticipated. Things must be rough, as everyone in our layout department faced the same fate -- sans three whose jobs were trimmed altogether.

It's caused a rather dark and somber mood at my workplace, and several people who drive heavy distances now see fewer reasons to keep coming, and have been exploring other options. My boss knows this, and there's really little he can say. It's not like he can be surprised by the desire to seek greener pastures, myself included. Though, there don't seem to be too many green pastures, but I continue to look ...

Of course this means trimming our belts, since sixteen hours of work time will be missing each paycheque. I was hoping to head up to Chicago for Bear Pride -- I haven't missed one in a decade, I don't think -- but the cost is off-putting (a bus, plus a room, plus food, plus event ... it adds up quickly!), and I'm not sure I can justify spending that kind of money now.
