Jobless...

Unfortunately today might be my last day at work. I have been called to a meeting today at 9 AM with the VP of our department, so as of now I'm assuming the worst which means I will no longer have a job. I will keep you guys posted after the meeting. I will try to keep my car as long as I possibly can if this is the case.

Wish me luck guys!

damn that sucks. Hopefully it is something positive and it turns out to be nothing. Wish you luck.

But if not i guess it could be because you are blogging on C5 while you are supposed to be working!

Best of luck. My boss told me they might cut our hrs. or even cut down to 4 days a week. That's going to hurt me. Not my car Thank God. But, it will be bad. I just hope all will get better everywhere instand of getting worse.

good luck, in my experience as devistating as it seems at the time, the next job was always a better situation. And in the end I was always glad it worked out the way it did.

I'm doing two other people's jobs since they were laid off. It was the only way my boss could keep me employed and I'm very thankful for that

Hopefully, elpato will come back with some good news!
