wake me up when september ends
So Michigan was a blast. It was good to get away and spend some time with my grandparents and aunt and uncle. But after three days of drinking and boating and swimming, grim reality comes flooding back.
In two weeks, either my job will be drastically changed (for the worse) or I'll be unemployed. The company is giving our union two options: Take the horrible pay cuts and work rule changes that allow management to fire us at will, or be laid off when the company shuts its doors.
And where the very idea of unemployment used to send me into a storm of tears for several hours, now I just feel like I don't have the energy to care anymore. I just want to crawl into bed with the covers over my head until next year.
