What are you doing right now?

[RootDKJ]

damn laptop died on my again. BSOD on boot up. I don't know why my IT department won't just order me a new hard drive already. This will be the second time in two months I'll have XP put back on there.

I'm sitting with one of my employees (and his wife) who is getting laidoff while waiting for his exit interview. I think she wants to punch me. He understands I had no control over this situtation. HR has us waiting like sheep to the slaughter.

Sucks. I need a drink.

Damn, If I were you I'd be out looking for new opportunities. Sounds like that place is going down fast and being mismanaged.

Totally sucks Root. Not to make light of the sh$tty situation you're in right now, but I'd bet that folks might be fearing a trip to your office more than mine right about now

Keep your head up!

Hang tuff Rooter -- it's NOT your fault ----

But as Wa lof suggests - I'd go "window shopping "

 

[RootDKJ]

Doing better now. Stopped at a bar for a quick drink on the way to the farewell party.

Stupid thing is, as a result of this, I wound up with a better job (more focused) for about the same pay because of my speciality (solid demand for it here).

It going to be weird for a while though.

Not a bad idea. I've seen places that had a guy do all the dirty work, then when he was done he took the ax.

Busy day... dishes, vacuumed, laundry...other not fun stuff. Probably will bake soon. Some kind of cookies.

2 big thumbs up for that Xmas stash of goodies. I'm headin to the german deli tomorrow and loading up on all my faves, then having them send my bro and sisinlaw a care package in NH for an Xmas gift. Mmmmm, can't wait, every time I walk in there I flashback to being a wee one shopping with my Oma in Germany.

Thanks bro. I'll be stress reliving tomorrow morning at Blue See you there?

My job is going to really be ok, but it's tough to say good-bye to folks you've been working with for the past 10 years knowing that your own job will be getting better (and easier).
