My attempts to shoot death rays out of my eyes at the reps from the outsourcing company has failed. Doomsday will proceed as planned.
I haven't been feeling particularly upbeat or much in the mood for sharing lately, mostly because of the current employment limbo I find myself in. I am finding it incredibly hard to maintain any sort of optimism when something as important as my means of supporting myself is in jeopardy for months, and will probably continue to be for another month or so. I HATE this kind of uncertainty, especially when there's nothing I can do to sway the outcome one way or another. I feel so incredibly helpless in all of this, and I'm finding it very emotionally tiring. I would have preferred that they just fire us and get it over with. At least then, something would have been decided. To make matters worse, a day doesn't seem to go by where there aren't multiple stories in the news detailing what a mess the economy is in, and how there doesn't seem to be much hope of it getting better any time soon. If/when I do get laid off, how the fuck am I supposed to find another job when it seems like every company is downsizing, outsourcing, or going out of business? Why does damn near everything seem to suck right now?
On a lighter note, I finally saw The Dark Knight. It was incredible, of course. Although knowing that Health Ledger isn't around to reprise his role as the Joker put a bit of a damper on my enjoyment of the movie. He did a hell of a job.
