::yawn::

What a week. First time in 4 months I worked a full work week. Definitely a different change. I was beginning to think they didn't like me because all week long they (the 4 mangers and the accountant) were in meetings with each other all day long. They would bounce back and forth between offices and then go to lunch together....nevermind that they all came in at 10:30-11 and then left for lunch at noon and back around 1:30. But after all that, the accountant said she was leaving, she had a baby 6 weeks ago and doesn't feel that she can work and take care of the baby at the same time. Then I was thinking, they might let me go because I was the last one hired. So at 4:30 the owner called me in his office and I started to worry, only for him to tell me that they were downsizing part of the company and that they want me to stay. So I was happy about that. There are 4 other girls that were afraid they might lose their jobs, but they are ok too. They are only getting rid of the sales people and keeping the rest. Will probably downsize to a smaller office and go from there. Keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully things will continue to get better.

Also, with the job, found out that they don't have group insurance, instead there is a guy who comes in and you pick what you want and he gives you a price on it. I was a little mislead about that, but the owner said they 'may' get group in a few months. Who knows, and who knows if I'm going to still be there. Depends on what happens with this downsizing.

DH is out of town this weekend. He was out all week. Up in St Louis at the Ritz Carlton to upgrade their phone system. Once he gets back, he won't have a steady job anymore. Hopefully he can find something soon thats more reliable. At this rate, we'll never move to Central Fl. So while hes gone, I'm pressure cleaning the apartments...should be fun with all the rain we had today.

  1. Gosh having a job is so nerve wrecking! I understand about the downsizing. My company seems to downsize every few months. So far I've been safe but I'm just waiting! There are only three people (including me) who do my job. We had 4 but one took early retirement at Christmas (this saved me from losing my position!) But we have had pay decreases! I'm constantly waiting for the 'BIG' announcement. Plus my husband was laid off last year! We cut our pay in half when we was laid off. (He worked in the car industry)I can't wait for the economy to get better. We can't take another lay off!

  2. Oh I know!!! I thought it would be a lot easier and its not. Hubbs is going to lose his full time job too. Not sure when, but it won't be much longer. ::Sigh:: I wish things would get better so we can have the family we both want.
