Friends, Decisions and Education
I joined a friend from my old work for lunch today. We had a nice chat and were almost done when a couple of the boys showed up at the same location. It was really nice to get a few hugs and laugh like I didn't have a care in the world. I got caught up on all the gossip and changes from the regionalization process. I keep shaking my head. I wonder how long it will take them (management) to realize the demands they insist will save them money are causing a brain-drain instead. One person to three people's jobs - that equation doesn't compute.
Still haven't developed a plan yet on the future front. The future is fluid and not easily quantified. That sounds like something Mr. Spock might have said. The only steady thing I see is my bank account going down.
I hate having all this available time and not be productive with it. I'd love to be in school working on my bachelors. Still haven't figured out how to pay for that yet. It's funny, all the job descriptions recommend a bachelors but unless you're specifically applying for a technical job, the employer will accept most anything just as long as you have something. It was always "strongly suggested" that all of us get a degree at my old company. They would tell us it says something about your ability to commit to a rigorous demanding schedule.
Weather has been vicious down South this spring. Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina and now Joplin, Kansas and Oklahoma are in the cross hairs. I have a cousin who lives in the Joplin area. I'm still trying to find out if she's okay. Prayers to all in harms way
