More good than bad.

Sun. I woke up early and went to the park b/c I had promised my fellow co-workers to play flag football. Which by the way I hate flag football. Luckily, only 4 guys showed up, including myself, and so we decided to call it a day after tossing the ball back and forth for a half hour.

I get home, hop on the computer, and recieve a phone call. This phone call was my recruiter from Teksystems, aka the guy that got me the job at JPMChase. He started off by saying, "I just want to let you know that you guys have done a great job with the conversions at Chase." I guess I was a little freaked out b/c this was starting to sound like a "I'm sorry but are going to have to let you go" speach, and so I cut him off and said, "do I or do I not have a job anymore?" Now, looking back at it I probable shouldn't have cut my suedo boss off in mid sentence but it all turned out for the best b/c I was informed I will be hired on full time at JPMChase by no later than July... possible early June.

However, I wasn't mistaken when I understoon his tone to mean "I'm being nice but I'm going to give you bad news." He had actually called me to find out Jacob Swains & James Ogg's phone number b/c their contracts were being cut short due to overstaffing.

So, in short I was informed I'm going to be hired on full time but my friends were getting fired. I didn't realize how bad it was until Monday when I got to work and found that 8 people had been fired 5 of which were my closest friends at work... now there are only 2 people that I work with that I have associated with outside of work :(

But I have to stay resolute and keep putting one foot in front of the other... toda dia.
