Not a Good Day

Today was not a good day. I have blogged about my job frustration before and how while I am frustrated I don't want to look for a new job in this economy. While my company had not laid anyone off, everyone (including myself) felt like we had to really toe the line as any little thing could get you fired. This morning all of that changed, there was company-wide lay off and people of every level and position were let go. Needless to say, I was terrified this morning as managers pulled people away from their desks...then never brought them back.

Fortunately, I was not laid off and the managers have assured us that there is no expectation of having to do this again. I feel a little guilty even saying this but it is almost like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, I won't be expecting to get fired everyday now...yet I also feel horrible about those who were laid off. It is a sad situation, plain and simple. I complain about my job but it is a good company and I know no one in management wanted to see this happen.

Moving on...I think another bird might be in my dryer vent (see this post.) The scratching noise is back again. I am going to see if it gets out on it's own tonight then call the apartment management company tomorrow...kind of sucks because I was planning on doing laundry tonight but I don't think I could bring myself to turn on the dryer. That would not end well for the bird.
