Currently the small company that I work for is going through what you call "Economic Turmoil". Since i have been on vacation, all except one company called my company to let them know that everything is on a hiring freeze and two in particularly had to let go of 100+ or so employees.
How did I know this? um... well I didn't until yesterday when I got a random letter in the mail telling me that I've been laid off indefinitely.
a tad shocking? yes. Yesterday I just sat there and went "damn, and here i just signed a 2 year contract for my new cell phone. WHAT THE FUZ!?@"
( further thoughts )...
I really had expected to come back refreshed and energized and wham, its like i've been hit by a bus or plane.
Today I thought I would sleep in and as I laid about in bed today I thought of buying lottery tickets. As i rose up to do so.. I got a somewhat frantic call from my supposedly former work place from the boss' daughter asking me to come back at the very least please come back on Tuesdays and Fridays, as if I was the one who wrote them and told them
I was the one laying
them off.
Shell shocked doesn't begin to describe my feelings. Apparently I was hit by another bus when the first one ran me over. I said "Sure why not?" and she was so relieved and ecstatic that I had to hold my phone a foot away or else become deaf.
...
what is going on? I dunno. All I know is that I should really update my resume.
