Well,it's a new week and a new crisis is on the horizon! In our Monday morning staff meeting the boss was talking about "maybe" having to do layoffs. Just what one needs to hear first thing on a Monday morning after pushing my ass in here still not 100%. My position is safe aas I am senior on the service roster but it doesn't create a very pleasant atmosphere especially when a new hire just started this morning and this was her first meeting! Ahh, sensitivity...where has it gone. To be honest, we've gone through slow periods before and each time the boss flips into crisis mode but to speak about "maybe" having no program is a little overboard. So, I will keep it in context and I've already spoken to the new person to re-assure her that the boss gets like this during slow times and we've come through it entact. If she continues it may be time for a little Union-management meeting to discuss proper ways of approaching these types of situations. We'll see. I spoke to my brother yesterday and after visiting my parents he went to visit a friend he hadn't seen for a bit. When hge arrived he discovered his friends wife had just left him half and hour ago. Good timing! After spending the afternoon consoling him he went out for coffee and ran itno another friend...whose brother had just died that day! I said "you're life is beginning to look like mine" and he replied "Yes, but you're used to it, Im not" I advised him to stay home and lock all the doors. I'm told the Lord has aplan for eachof us but when do we get to the good part where it all works out for the best!
