Not an April Fools!
The government entity I work for is grossly over budget (big surprise) and they are going to try and find the money by cutting personnel-- a large group of personnel. Including my entire team. So - unlike a supervillian, they didn't tell me just before they did it. They informed me that it had already happened a few days prior.
So .. as of now I am still employed, but only barely. The commercial entity I contract through is trying to figure out what to do with me (and everyone else that was cut). There is no position left for waht I want to do, although I might be able to get into another position. (This confuses me, because at the same time as we are shrinking, other areas are still growing? That makes no sense...)
On top of that, I have a large tax bill, because I am getting divorced this year, and I also had to replace the brakes and rotors in my 7 year old vehicle. (Because I didn't want to die..) I used the savings to do that, already.
I already live in a 1 BR apartment by myself so I think I am pretty much getting the best deal I could in this area, already.
Recently, I was on a business trip to San Antonio (representing my organization that is being decimated, I guess), and while I was there, the lady who sponsored my visit subtly asked for a resume.
I could go to San Antonio.
I could at least send my resume.
People with clearances and experience like mine are hard to come by, especially when you start getting out of the beltway type area.
Hmm.
