Work Woes!
So today I got an email from my manager for a mandatory meeting. What I suspected was that he was going to give me my 60 day notice along with 35 other co-workers. So much speculation in the air. All I could do at work was think about what I am going to do once I finally get laid off. One guy, that annoys the heck out of me, all he could do was be pissed and bitch about things. All i said to him was “we knew it was coming, so why are you mad again?”
The reason for the lay off is the site I work at is moving to San Antonio, TX. So its either I go there with them, try and transfer within, or look for a new job. Coming from Cali I don’t know how I would adjust out there. I have a friend that moved from K-Town to San Antonio and she can’t wait to move back to Cali.
Finally its 12:00, its time for the meeting. As I look around before heading to the conference room I see my manager, along with other supervisors and managers, and the HR lady. My suspicions were right. When I got to the conference room it was already filled with people that weren’t going to make the move out to Texas. We got a little thank you speech about our hard work throughout the transistion, keep it up till your last day, etc. After that they went over our severance package and then let us go home early so that we can cry about losing our jobs.
On my way home I was thinking about the things I might want to do once I get laid off. I Mayhaps take a trip out to Japan to visit Bob, go snowboarding in Aspen and Whistler, go to Vietnam with Vi and Anh, road trip up to SF with Anna, or just veg out for a bit. The possibilities are endless. I did however apply to 2 positions within WAMU. I don’t know how competitive its going to be to get that position, but it doesn’t hurt to apply.
Oh well is 2008, this year is going to be filled with big things to come. Anna is going to pharmacy school, so who knows where we will end up. I running 3 different runs this year: Surf City USA 5k in Huntington Beach, the Brea 8k, and the World Famous Mudrun at Camp Pendleton 10k. Hopefully I can lose all the weight that I have been saying that I would for the past 2 years. Theres about 4 weddings that I going to this year. Hopefully soon Anna can start planning for ours. hehe. And who knows, maybe I’ll get my 3rd stripe for hapkido.
Stay tuned…LBCfoLife!!
