I really like the reception place! It's pretty!!
Thanks! And thanks for your dress opinion! It seems everyone likes dress number 2, but I think I'm going to continue looking.
So they made the first round of layoffs today. One of the managers in another office was let go and two people in my office were laid off. One of them was Tena, who was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. Another was Ed, my lunch buddy and also from my department. I felt really bad because he'd had a bad day Saturday (he got stuck here til 5!) and I think was angry at us for that. And then this happens; plus, it was effective immediately. They were told to clean out their desks and leave.

Ed and I started on the same day and he was the one that got shown the door. My boss said that this was it for this office. There's going to be a second round but this is the office that is going to be spared. I hope that's true. I just can't believe it was such short notice like that!!!
I'm so happy you weren't laid off! But, it's so sad co workers get laid off. Stupid economy. I hope things get better soon!
Yesterday, I called out. We had a snow storm and up north didn't get hit as bad, maybe 4-5 inches. But where I live it was more like 9 or 10. I was going to come in, I shoveled my car out and everything, and as I was about to walk out the door I saw that it was snowing again. So I told my boss if she really needed me, I'd come in but she said she didn't think it'd be busy and told me to stay home. I live 30 miles from my office so yeah...I didn't really feel like making that drive in the snow!
Whew! That's a lot of snow! Glad you got to take the day off!
How's everybody's day going?
EDIT: I just noticed, I surpassed 1000 posts!
