update

Well, I haven't felt much like journaling, Monday an announcement was made at work that my 40% of the dept.I work for was going to 40% of the work force laid off (I don't know how they are going to restructure...... our entire group could be hit or a move to another state could be required, I won't know who is impacted until mid January....at the end of the teleconference that last thing said was "Have a Merry Christmas, go shopping"... I couldn't believe how insensitive that statement was......it would have been more appropriate to say Christmas is cancelled! So I have been very depressed, scared to say the least.....fears of being homeless are all I can think about....it's not like job opportunities are bountiful! Prayers are appreciated!

I am very sorry to hear this. I will keep you in my prayers so that you either keep your job or find something better.

The good news out of this is at least you have a heads up and can plan for mid January and save all your money. Where I work, people don't know they're laid off until the day it actually happens and they are escorted out.

That comment they made was very insensitive about telling people to go shopping in this economy. That was just plain wrong. Our Christmas party was cancelled too. Morale is low.

I hope that everything will work out for you. Please keep us posted
