There were a string of layoffs at “the company” this week. Though we are not directly affected, it has left me feeling quiet and sad. People I have come to call friends, colleagues who were kind enough to accommodate us, people who smiled happily at us in the halls, will not be here tomorrow.
My multicoloured bubble of hope that things were finally picking up has burst. Popped by the final stroke of a pen, dismissing some who have worked here for decades. It has to get better soon. Doesn’t it?

Okay. You were spared. I'll keep praying there aren't more layoffs.
Smooch!

Posted by: munin on Marzo 17, 2004 07:03 AMoh man, I know how this feels and it sucks. Things do get better, but it took a *really* long time in these here parts. *hugs*
