Ponderings
Ya know, the more I think about it, the more I feel I really did waste my time and half of the year last year. Don't get me wrong, I do not regret it one bit. It's just... time I could have spent doing other things. Heh, funny how mother was able to call it months before. I need to learn to listen to her more often, cause she's right 9 times out of 10, oddly enough.
So, in about 2-3 weeks time, I will know for sure whether or not I'll still be employed. With the economy doing as poorly as it is, there are going to be cutbacks. Rumors aside (cause each day you hear a different one) no one knows how deep the cuts are going to go.
Which is making everyone on edge.
The way I'm looking at this is as follows: There ain't a damn thing I can do now. What's been decided is decided. All I can do is what I've been doing, working hard and to the best of my abilities.
I am also seeing two options.
Option 1
They keep me after the first rounds of layoffs. Meaning, I'll half to suffer through the fact that a lot of my co-workers and friends that I had made in my two years there will now be gone/I won't see them every single day/I won't get to just randomly talk about nonsense and stupid stuff. There will be less laughs, less distractions to save your mind form going insane. This also means, with a good chunk of people gone, I'll have to take one at least one others job, possibly two. That's at least twice the workload I already have, and if you know me and what I do, you already know my work load is heavy.
Option 2
They let me go in February, along with a lot of others. I'll have to find another job, and with the number of newly unemployed, with the lack of jobs in the area... I doubt I'll be able to find anything in town. I'll have to look elsewhere and more than likely move. And start my life over.
...In all honesty, part of me really wants option 2, cause there is absolutely nothing and no one in Corning for me anymore if the job goes away, save for my parental units.
Also, it'd be on par with how this past month has gone for me, if I do get laid off. So it wouldn't be a shocker. 2009 has really taken a liking to bending me over and cramming me.
At least next weekend I'll have a chance to see a couple of my friends that I met in Bing whom I have not seen in... shit, a year at least. Yay.
PS: It sucks that I cannot put up lyrics in my away messages to songs I have known and loved for years due to possible repercussions that I just don't feel like dealing with. It's not my fault the lyrics are as they are, and the songs just freakin rock!
Double also, that was uncool. So very uncool. But again, so very expected.
