Whee squish you a fairy pissmas!
Well, today was the big day. I still have my job. I have no idea if a pay cut will be involved, but I *DO* know that my bonuses will be disappearing. And I had to say goodbye to three of my coworkers today. Candice, Antrina, and Stephanie all took the "voluntary reduction". Stephanie's last day was yesterday, while Antrina and Candice stuck around one more day. Both of them spent all day on the internet looking for jobs, as well as polishing their resumes and references. Can't say as I blame them. What do ya think *I've* been doing for the past four days... *sigh*
I'm pretty disillusioned about the holiday season. I'm broke as a joke this time around. I'm tearing up the internets looking for a new job. Grandmother can't come to visit this year due to surgery. I miss her a lot, so THAT'S sad. WoW isn't working anymore; I need a new video card; cuz ATI and WoW are no longer the best of friends. Half the people in my office got one problem or another: son's got appendicitis, two car accidents, mom's in the hospital, pregnant kid lost the baby, yada yada yada what-have-you. Yeah, at least I'm still alive and healthy and none of my immediate relatives have died and no more of my friends have passed away, but I'm still really depressed right now. I can't WAIT till this holiday season is over; it all seems so jinxed...
Some good things: I *DO* have enough cash to go see Spam-A-Lot this weekend, which I hope to do with a certain fabulous, fiery female friend of mine. And my furniture bill should be getting wiped out this next week. So that's ONE less annoying bill I get every month. Here's hopin'...
I don't think I'll be making it to City this weekend... eh. I'm too tired to socialize much tonight anyways...
