The Boss Called

As some of you may know what's been going on at the company I work at. For you that don't in Sept. all but 8 of us were laid off. Then by Christmas all but 2 of us were left. This week we finished the work we had and had a feeling that this could be it for us. Today when we made it to the end of the day we thought maybe we were going to be OK. We left working thinking we would be back on Monday.

I stopped by my mothers for a visit, then I came home feed the cats and came in the computer room to play a little pogo. Around 7:00 the phone rings, I look at the caller ID and its work. I didn't want to answer but knew I had to. It was my boss, she told me she really wanted to come talk to us in person but couldn't find the time. She said she was sorry but she was go to have to lay me and my co-work off. So now I get to join the rest of my co-worker in the unemployment line.

The man I was working with is old enough to retire but I still have 9 years before I can retire. I'm really scared. I think I'm going to need some acne treatment because of all this stress.

We all want to thank you all for your wishes. The bad thing is I've worked for this company since 1985.

Sorry to hear you got laid off. Things are very slow on my job too--very scary. Try to be positive and think maybe you'll find something even better.
