Job Uncertainty

Buzz is going around about cut backs. Some of the engineers upstairs gone the axe. I hear 25 were let go. Some more are scheduled to be released in Oct. Tech writers are compiling a list of projects we still have going in hopes we can keep our jobs until the economy picks up. My inside voice {Good luck with that.}

I look at it like this;I will find something. I will make money somehow, legally of course. I can raise goats, sell chickens, eggs, handyman services, childcare activities, I will think of something. Who knows, I may not even have to worry about layoffs. My boss is meeting with her boss next week to discuss the 09 budget. I hope she tells us what is coming down the road instead of showing up one day and telling us to clear out our desk. I dreamt Tuesday night I got laid off. We'll see if this is to pass.
